Raffles and Fund-Raising at G.A.M.E.
As all of you know, Eclectic Endeavors is a program of the Springfield Regional Arts Council (SRAC) and we operate financially under the umbrella of their 501(3)(c). In this regard we are allowed to do many things that individuals and business are not allowed to do.
During our event we sell raffle tickets to help raise funds towards our expenses and towards our goal of creating an educational scholarship fund that will be announced this year at G.A.M.E. Year 8. According to Missouri State Law (as detailed below) we are in compliance, and can sell raffle tickets to accomplish these goals.
At G.A.M.E., Eclectic Endeavors does its’ best to conduct business within federal and sate law, and this includes making sure all our attendees do the same. Unless you are a charitable or service organization as described by the terms in the Missouri Constitution (detailed below), you CANNOT conduct raffles.
If you are a charitable or service organization, you must conduct any said raffles in accordance with the law. As it states below “…no part of the net earnings inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual member of such organization.” You should also keep very detailed records of how much you collected, to protect your organization.
One last thing that Eclectic Endeavors request with any raffles conducted within the hours of G.A.M.E., please make sure that you communicate clearly with ticket buyers where the funds are going. If they are going towards your club / organization or a different local charity or whatever. We want to make sure that no one is confused about different raffles taking place within G.A.M.E. that are not part of Eclectic Endeavors and our goals towards creating an educational scholarship fund.
Thank you
