Giveback Draw

About

We got tired of giveaways you could not trust

Flashing timers that reset. "Proceeds to charity" with no number. Winners nobody could ever find. Giveback Draw is the opposite of all of it, on purpose.

The idea

Local excitement, minus the shady parts

A great local prize campaign should do three things at once: give someone a real shot at something great, put real money behind a local cause, and let anyone check the receipts afterward. That is the whole product.

So we built the business the boring, honest way. Sponsors fund the prize and a fixed gift to the cause before entry ever opens. Free campaigns are genuinely free. When a prize is big enough to warrant a paid raffle, an established, licensed nonprofit runs it and controls the money, not us. And every campaign ends with a published record.

What we are, and are not

  • We are a campaign-services company: creative, media, hosting, and reporting.
  • We earn sponsor media revenue and fixed service fees.
  • We are not a charity, and entering is not a donation.
  • We never take a percentage of a raffle's ticket money.

What we will and will not say

Our language rules, in public

We say

  • "Enter free. Sponsors have committed $1,250 to the cause."
  • "Odds depend on the number of eligible entries."
  • "Paid presenting sponsor."

We never say

  • "Donate to enter."
  • "Free car" when taxes or title costs apply.
  • "100% goes to charity" unless it is literally, completely true.
Where we are right now. Giveback Draw is at the concept and approvals stage. Before a single real campaign opens, we complete a checklist of written approvals: promotions counsel, a licensed nonprofit partner, a payment processor, a CPA, and an insurer. If any of them will not approve the exact facts, we do not improvise around it. We run the free, sponsor-funded format or we wait.
