### Overview

\
This question determines whether the raffle is being officially conducted by the non-profit organization as an organizational initiative or by an external party on behalf of the non-profit.

### Key Distinction

Only non-profits can benefit from raffles in Australia (with a few exceptions) so a non-profit will always be the beneficiary. The critical factor is WHO is conducting the raffle.&#x20;

### Answer "Yes" if:

* You are running the raffle as an official activity of the organization
* The organization itself is sourcing the prizes
* The organization is promoting the raffle through their official channels
* The proceeds are going directly to the organization's accounts
* You are acting in your official capacity within the organization

### Answer "No" if:

* You personally organized the raffle, even if you're a member/volunteer
* You sourced the prizes yourself
* You're raising the money on behalf of the organization and donating it to the organization
* You're using your personal networks primarily (not the organization's channels)
* The organization is simply aware of and approving your fundraising effort

### Examples

#### "Yes" Examples:

* A P\&C Association running a school raffle where the P\&C sourced prizes and is managing the raffle
* A football club conducting its annual fundraising raffle through official club channels
* A political party running a raffle where the party organization manages everything
* Red Cross conducting a raffle where they source prizes and promote through their channels
* A school running a raffle where the school administration organizes and manages it

#### "No" Examples:

* A Red Cross volunteer personally organizing a raffle and donating proceeds
* A political party supporter independently organizing a fundraising raffle

### Important Notes

* Being a member/volunteer is not enough - the organization must be actively running the raffle
* Even if you have official status with an organization, if you're organizing the raffle independently, select "No"
* The organization should be directly involved in all aspects: prizes, promotion, and proceeds
* If unsure, ask: "Is this an official organizational activity or my personal initiative?"
