Raffle purchases aren't tax deductible but donations can be!
Step 1: Enable Donations and Ask for Additional Donation
-
In the Page Builder, go to Donations > Edit Donation Settings.
-
Toggle on "Ask for an additional donation on purchase" to prompt donors during checkout.
Step 2: Set Up Tax Receipting
-
In the Page Builder, go to Admin > Tax Receipting.
-
Choose your tax receipt template and make any necessary edits.
-
Click Save to confirm.
Note: Tax receipts require your organization's profile information to be complete.
Ensure your Organization Info is fully filled out to avoid errors in issuing receipts.
For detailed instructions on setting up tax receipts, see: How to Set up Tax Receipts
Step 3: Ensure your fundraiser name does not include "Raffle" "Lotto" or "50/50"
-
In the Page Builder, go to Page Design.
-
Review and update your fundraiser title to remove any restricted words like:
-
"Raffle"
-
"Lotto"
-
"50/50"
-
Why this matters:
Tax receipts include your fundraiser's name so it is important that your title doesn't include "raffle", "lotto", or "50/50" to avoid red flags from CRA.
