We are financed by several 'Founder Partners' (Corporate Sponsors) who ensure all administration costs associated with the Sporting Chance Prize Draw platform are paid for. This includes donation transaction fees that donors decide not to cover themselves. Therefore, all the money raised from the Prize Draw is donated to charity.

Many small charities across the UK had their fundraising events postponed - or cancelled entirely - because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sporting Chance Prize Draw was formed as a response – offering UK charities the chance to fundraise without the need to create or deliver an in-person fundraising event. Now, we are becoming a bridge between UK sport and UK charities.

Over £225,000 has been raised for charity via the Sporting Chance Prize Draw platform so far.

Our first four Prize Draws, held in March 2021 - 2024, helped support small UK charities at a time when income from fundraising events was impacted because of the pandemic, and then further affected by the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
