Charity Lotteries ~ A European Success Story | Carolyn M. Appleton

Charity Lotteries ~ A European Success Story | Carolyn M. Appleton: During a morning seminar, I sat behind a friendly gentleman from the Netherlands, Jan Wezendonk. Jan is Chairman of the Board of Nationaal Fonds Kinderhulp, a nonprofit organization that provides assistance to needy children.

Jan and I struck up a conversation that morning, and we have remained in touch online. Jan told me one of the most successful ways in which his organization has been funded is via the EU Charity Lottery. You can read an overview about how privately-funded lotteries work via the Association of Charity Lotteries in the European Union.
