The math behind a 50/50: where every dollar actually goes
Fees come off the top, then the remainder splits evenly between the winner and your organization. Here is the breakdown on a $100 sale.

The phrase "50/50" describes how the prize pool splits — but the order of operations matters. On RaffleGives, platform fees come off the top first, and only the remainder splits evenly between the winning ticket holder and your organization.
On a $100 order at an 8% fee: RaffleGives keeps $8, and the remaining $92 splits — $46 to the winner, $46 to your nonprofit. That transparency is printed on every checkout so donors know exactly what their purchase funds.
Because payouts run through Stripe Connect under your organization’s own name, the money your supporters give arrives where they expect it: with you.
