Cove_Sheep Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Anyone got any experience of this? I'm currently raising funds here for Prostate Cancer UK (doing the Berlin Marathon), and I've had a though that it might help if I was able to offer folk the chance to win some cash in return for donations. In terms of fundraising, those football scratchard things are usually pretty good, so was wondering if there was anywhere you can setup an online version that would collect the stake, pay the winner etc. Hopefully someone on here will have experience of this sort of thing and be able to point me in the right direction!

the doomed Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 There's a couple of fundraising websites that let you do this. Will try and get names of them for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the doomed Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Main one has closed down... https://www.guess2give.com Worked for a large charity looking at all sorted of projects around online fundraising income - very few people do these things and generate little money.

If anyone on here is interested, here is what I've setup - wee competition that should provide some fun/interest in the Euros this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
