Water.org is the featured charity. [/center] [color=green][b]About Water.org[/b] [i]Water.org is a nonprofit organization that has transformed hundreds of communities in Africa, South Asia, and Central America by providing access to safe water and sanitation.[/i] [b]Raffle Information[/b] - You win tickets by donating, promoting the raffle and Water.org, or playing Freerice. - Tickets will be tallied after the raffle ends. - This raffle will end when the Water.org fundraising goal is reached or when the fundraiser expires. [b]Ticket Information:[/b] For all of the below, while I would prefer posted screenshots, you can PM me instead. i’d like if you at least posted “I PM’d you.” in the thread so I know to check my inbox. -- [i]Donating[/i] To get tickets from donating to a charity, please post a screenshot of your donation page. You do not need to show your name or the monetary value of your donation - you can blur it out if you wish. Minimum donation is $5 USD*. A donation is 50 tickets; donations above $5 will get +20 tickets for every additional $5 donated (ex. a $10 donation would be 70 tickets). The primary charity for this raffle is Water.org. You can donate to the Not A Drop fundraiser here: http://give.water.org/fundraiser/3962/ You don't have to donate to only Water.org, you can donate to other charities if you wish. Please make sure you are donating to a reputable charity. You can check how good a charity is here: http://www.charitynavigator.org/ *There are often transaction costs associated with accepting donations, so a minimum donation amount helps prevent charities from losing money. -- [i]Promoting[/i] Promoting this raffle on FR, or a charity either on FR or offsite, will net you +1 ticket per promotion. There are banners/buttons in the fourth post for signature/profile use. Reblogging my [url=http://cassowarhea.tumblr.com/tagged/not-a-drop]tumblr posts[/url] about this raffle also counts as a promotion, +1 ticket per reblog. Please make sure you're reblogging the most recent post, as it will have the most accurate information. Please post a screenshot or link to the promotion(s) in this thread so I can keep track. -- [i]Freerice[/i] Since not everyone can donate, you can win tickets by playing [url=http://freerice.com/content-group/flight-rising]Freerice[/url]. It is +1 ticket per 1000 grains. Only grains won from the date of the raffle's start to the date of the raffle's end will count for this raffle. [color=red]Remember to disable Adblock on Freerice.[color=green] Please post screenshots in this thread for verification. A screenshot how-to is in the third post of this thread. [b]Donating to this raffle[/b] You can help this raffle by donating items. High-value apparel, familiars, etc. are suggested. Currency (treasure or gems) are also good.

Well, seeing as I'm not able to donate, I might as well make a Freerice account to help out. Great idea for a raffle, by the way! [img]http://i.imgur.com/6fUHZdh.png[/img] (That big fat 0 makes me sad...)
