I'm impressed by how many charities and non-profit organisations in the US have successfully turned to property raffles as a source of fundraising in recent months. In the current environment, this makes perfect sense for the homeowners as much as for the players, who enter knowing they are supporting a good cause. We see similar house raffles in Australia (RSL, Mater) however the UK hasn't witnessed the same types of partnerships. Of course, the legal environment differs from one country to another, however in principle this should be something that could be replicated on this side of the pond as well. We feature house competitions and property raffles from around the world, however the majority in Europe tend to be run for profit (or with a portion of funds donated to charity).

This is a great cause. In times like these it’s great to see people still have concern for others.

I might have missed it in the comments, but have they had the home drawing yet? I hope the Child Crisis Center of Arizona was able to raise a lot of funding with the ticket sales!

It's 20,000 to 1 to win the million dollar property. I wonder what the other prizes are?

Oh wow, 1 in 200 is really nice odds for winning a million dollar home AND a great way to help a child. I don't know I could leave my area-even though that home is beyond amazing-so that is super great they are offering the cash out option as well.

That's a beautiful house, and for a great cause. Good job to all involved.

A family in the Washington DC area recently did something similar to this. However, the proceeds did not go to charity. This looks like a great event with a good cause. I am anxious to see how much money they raise!

Hi Jay,

Great promotion for a great cause. We me have had some home builders in and around Denver offer up "free" houses in the past but only as shameless self promotion. We have yet to see a great cause like the Child Crisis Center host. Hopefully, this will be lucrative for everyone involved and catch on. Come to think of it we have a lot of high end luxury home inventory in Denver-- Maybe this could double as an economic stimulus plan...

I think house raffles are a great idea both for homeowners and for nonprofits. I read about this charity that came back into profit thanks to property raffles: http://winahouseraffles.com/blog/organizing-hou...... In most states is it legal if done with a registered nonprofit?

I came by to see the drive by video-is that still in the works or located somewhere else? It looks like such an amazing home; I am curious to see how beautiful the inside is.

When is the raffle? Though I love my area, it is very tempting to see if I might win a summer home; since it is summer nearly year round there, I could get a lot of use out of it, eh!

We have a similar fundraiser here and it is a good way to raise funds for a great cause. It is now the largest single fundraiser in Eastern Canada and has been getting larger with more prizes each year. I wish I could win the grand prize one of these years!
