What you need to know about fundraising lotteries 

Do you want to fundraise in your community though a raffle, draw, bingo, pull ticket or other type of lottery? 

Did you know that only registered charitable or non-profit organizations can hold these events? 

You must first get a licence for all types of lotteries or draws in Nunavut. 

If you want to sell tickets as a fundraising activity in your community, please contact Consumer Affairs for more information on how to apply for a lottery licence:
