Subject:  Raffle Policy


North Carolina statutes allow nonprofit organizations, recognized officially as tax-exempt, to conduct
up to two raffles per year, subject to certain conditions.  The applicable statutes do not authorize
organizations or associations to conduct raffles without tax-exempt recognition specific to their
group.

The University, as a recognized tax-exempt organization, allows up to two raffles per year.  Campus
groups or associations may not conduct raffles under the "umbrella" of the University's tax-exempt
status unless the organization obtains express written approval from the Chancellor.  Any campus
organization wishing to use a permissible University raffle must apply in writing to the Chancellor. 
The letter of application should state why a particular request justifies using one of two raffles
allowed by the University each year.  North Carolina statutes strictly control raffles.  Only in
exceptional circumstances will a raffle be allowed under the University's "umbrella."
