Raffle tickets
P&Cs often fundraise by raffles, which involve selling tickets. You
must adhere to the Charitable and Non-Profit Gaming Act 1999 provisions
in these situations. The Queensland
Office of Gaming Regulation has a web site - Publications & Information
- Charitable Non-Profit Guides' which can be very helpful. The 'Forms and
Application' area of this web site can also provide the necessary documentation
(refer section 'Charitable Non-Profit Licences').
Managing raffle tickets
- Match the tickets sold and the total tickets available to the total takings from the raffle.
- The raffle organiser does a reconciliation (see Example
13 new window 55k
new window
for a ticket and takings reconciliation) and resolves any disputes
about lost tickets. (A reconciliation gives an easy overview of the activity
and ensures that all funds raised are accounted for and ticket handlers
are protected from false accusations.)
- Hand the funds to the treasurer who issues a receipt.
- Bank the gross funds raised.
- Make any payments required by cheque. Do not use the funds being
raised to pay bills.
