Unlimited potential with keywords

A keyword is the word a supporter texts in order to enter your raffle. You choose your own keywords and can create as many as you like – for free.

Customise your raffle

You are in control. You can choose your suggested donation amount and customise the texts your supporters receive. Or keep things simple with the default text.

Regulations made easy

Donr Text Raffles automatically include a free entry option for your supporters. This means you meet regulations without the need for complicated admin. It also reduces costs, so more money reaches your charity.

On average, over 90% of supporters choose to make a donation when they enter Text Raffles – so you’re able to both engage your supporters and raise money!

Claim Gift Aid on donations

As charitable donations are voluntary, they are eligible for Gift Aid, and we can collect Gift Aid information on your behalf.

Simply download the data and add it to your claim to HMRC. 100% of Gift Aid funds will be paid to you by HMRC.

Set up in minutes

Our simple set up flow allows you to create your raffle in minutes. There is no need to wait weeks for approval – set up and launch straight away! Or schedule your raffle to start later.

Give your supporters an incentive

The potential to win a prize is a great way to engage supporters in your campaign. Supporters are more likely to donate to your campaign when they get something in return.
