Group finds it hard to pull off multi-charity raffle - CharlotteObserver.com: "Among the popular choices was creation of a communitywide raffle that would benefit a variety of charities through tickets sold for donated prizes.
The concept seems simple enough, but national experts on charity fundraising say Charlotte would be breaking new ground. It's common for a single charity to hold a raffle, but rarely do confederations of charities join for such a cause, said Michael Nilsen of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
There may be good reason, too, he concludes: While a community raffle could educate thousands about Charlotte's charities, it might also be seen as a replacement for giving and volunteering. That could hurt in the long run, he says."
