Community Assistance Raffle (Raffle)
The goal of the Community Assistance Raffle is to give Not-For-Profit organisations, such as sporting clubs, historical societies, etc., an opportunity to raise funds to support their activities. In previous years the organisations sold physical tickets and retained 80% of the ticket price.
In 2020 $175,000 was distributed amongst the participating clubs.
Supply of the prizes, operational costs and organisation of the raffle were, and will be, handled by the Rotary Club of Ballarat South as part of its service to the community.
Volunteering has changed in Australia over the past few years, and it is time for the Community Assistance Raffle to change the way in which it operates.
The Rotary Club of Ballarat South is actively developing a new model for the Community Assistance raffle that will simplify the selling process, increase the reach of the raffle and still return significant funds to the participating clubs. The goal of the raffle will remain as generating funds for all participating organisations and keeping the workload to a minimum..
All previous sellers are being contacted with view to operating the new model raffle before the end of 2025.
Expressions of interest from new clubs/associations will be welcome in the next few weeks.
