Winning together: How we help organisations turn prizes into impact

Unlock effortless giving and experience the power of simplified fundraising, freeing up time for you to focus on the fun stuff and keeping your supporters engaged for the long-term.

Does fundraising have to be serious? Could “fun” be the secret to long-term impact? In the world of philanthropy, there is a common misconception that for a gift to be meaningful, the process must be earnest.

Certainly, deep legacy gifts or major fundraising campaigns are driven by profound personal values and vision. But for the vast majority of day-to-day giving, a “serious” tone can often lead to donor fatigue. If we want to build profitable, sustainable fundraising programmes that deliver on business goals and have the momentum to grow year-on-year, we have to ask ourselves: are we making it easy, rewarding – and enjoyable – for people to support our cause? Do supporters see the true impact of their support?

The psychology of the “joyful giver”

While not every donation is “fun” in the traditional sense, the experience surrounding the gift should be. When a campaign is engaging, timely, positive, and seamless, supporters don’t just feel like they are making a pledge – they feel like they are part of a community, doing their bit to make a difference.

At Jumbo, we believe that when you remove the friction and add a sense of excitement, you aren’t just raising money; you’re building a relationship. This belief is underpinned by our value of creating possibilities: we are committed to providing outstanding products and unsurpassed services to our customers and clients. Consequently, our digital lotteries provide everything needed for you to build engaging and rewarding experiences for supporters.

It’s not just about the prize; it’s about the impact.”

Turning participation into celebration

One of the most effective ways to inject energy into a fundraising strategy is through lotteries, raffles, and prize draws. This approach bridges the gap between altruism and entertainment:

• The thrill of the win: From weekly £25K jackpots to guaranteed prizes, the excitement of supporting the cause by playing the weekly lottery keeps your cause “top of mind” for supporters.

• Meaningful connections: It’s not just about the prize; it’s about the impact. Supporters love seeing the difference they make while enjoying the weekly anticipation of a draw.

• Low friction, high reward: By making the “ask” feel like an invitation to play, you lower the barrier to entry for new audiences. It can also be an entry into lifelong support, leading to Wills and legacies.

Tech that works hard so you can have fun

For a charity, “fun” only happens when the backend isn’t a headache. True “fundraising joy” for an organisation means knowing that compliance, payments, and data migration are handled flawlessly.

Whether you are a small local non-profit or a major national charity, your fundraising software should seamlessly and effortlessly shape itself around your existing operations – not the other way around. Our platform is natively built to handle the “heavy lifting” of compliance and launch logistics, empowering your team to focus on what matters: telling your story.

Unlock your fundraising potential

Fundraising doesn’t have to be a chore for your team or a sombre duty for your supporters. By blending world-leading management solutions with an innovative digital platform, you can create a donor journey that is as exciting as it is impactful.
