Fundraising legalities
« on: April 02, 2019, 12:02:58 AM »
Looking for some info with regards to legalities of certain fundraising methods. For instance, making a lottery. Obviously the laws vary by location, but not even sure where to start with it. If anyone has experience with the legal side (like giving cash prizes, possible gambling/lotto law infringements) or knows a good place to find more info, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Just as an FYI. NJ is horrible with these laws. NYC is way easier.

Wow. NJ really is a charity hostile state. No charitable tax deduction, and now you are saying that they are bad with fundraising activities too.

If you are applying for a gaming license for a charity event it can take up to 2 years whereas NY can take under 2 months.

Another point.
If you would like to issue tax deductible receipts there needs to be a way to register for the raffle for free

This would be in multiple states most likely. If a cash prize is not given, would a gaming license still be needed? Is it for any prize? I appreciate the feedback so far, I'll look into the applicable states on my own as well.
