Few things get people more excited at a fundraiser than the chance to win a basket packed with goodies. A raffle basket fundraiser is simple to set up, easy to run, and delivers a strong return with very little cost. Themed prizes create buzz, tickets sell themselves, and everyone goes home happy.
Instant appeal – People can see the prize, not just imagine it.
Flexible themes – Spa night, sports, movie marathon, coffee lovers, BBQ kit… the options are endless.
High perceived value – A well-styled basket feels worth more than the individual items inside.
Easy for donors – Local businesses love to contribute products or gift cards for baskets.
This mix makes raffle baskets one of the most reliable add-ons at any community, school, or corporate fundraiser.
Start with 3–5 baskets. Fewer but better baskets usually perform stronger than too many small ones. Popular themes include:
Family Fun Night – board games, snacks, movie passes
Local Favorites – gift cards from restaurants or shops in your community
Pamper Yourself – spa items, candles, wine
Sports & Outdoors – gear, tickets, team swag
Gourmet Treats – coffee, chocolate, artisan foods
👉 Tip: Pick themes that match your audience. A school fundraiser crowd might love family games, while a gala audience may go for wine and spa baskets.
Ask local businesses, parents, and community supporters for items or gift cards. Position it as free advertising: their brand will be highlighted in front of everyone at the event.
Pro tip: Offer a “sponsor shoutout” from the stage or in the event program for each donor.
Bundle pricing works best:
1 ticket = $5
3 tickets = $10
10 tickets = $20
Guests drop their tickets in the container for the basket they want to win. The more tickets they buy, the more chances they have — which means more money raised.
Presentation matters. Wrap baskets in cellophane, add a bow, and display them in a high-traffic area with good lighting. Print a clear sign for each basket showing the theme, contents, and sponsor.
Announce basket winners toward the end of the night, but before your big finale. This gives people time to drop in their last tickets and keeps excitement building.
Make the draw a moment of fun — invite a volunteer or child to pick the winning ticket and celebrate the winner on stage.
Combine small donations into larger, themed baskets instead of giving away single items.
Create at least one “premium basket” to drive big-ticket interest.
Encourage online promotion by posting basket photos on social media before the event.
Use clear jars or boxes for tickets so people see participation building.
Too many baskets → audience spreads out their interest, lowering ticket sales.
Poor display → baskets tucked in a corner won’t get attention.
Generic themes → uninspired baskets don’t generate excitement.
