Q: Are you a member of the non-profit organization receiving the raffle proceeds?

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.

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?"
