HOW TO HOST A RAFFLE :

<aside> 🌼 Here is the form I made for a raffle I did CHECK IT OUT - to benefit The Sameer Project : A donations based aid initiative working to supply emergency funding to the displaced families in Gaza.

<aside> 🌼 **- MAKE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL OR OFFER SOMETHING AMAZING : A PAINTING, A QUILT, A 1:1 SESSION WITH YOU

• FIND A MUTUAL AID ORGANIZATION, GOFUND ME, OR INDIVIDUAL WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM MONEY
• MAKE A SIMPLE GOOGLE FORM WHERE PEOPLE UPLOAD A SCREENSHOT OF THEIR DONATION, TOTAL AMOUNT, AND ADDRESS FOR WHERE TO SEND IF THEY WIN
• MAKE A SECOND PRIZE LIKE A COPY OF YOUR ZINE OR SMALL EMBROIDERY
• TELL PEOPLE HOW MUCH TO DONATE AND HOW TO ENTER
• HAVE IT OPEN FOR A WEEK OR SO
• OPEN THE GOOGLE FORM AND TURN THE RESULTS INTO A SPREADSHEET
• HAVE A FRIEND CLOSE THEIR EYES AND POINT TO YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN : THATS WHO WINS THE RAFFLE
• MAKE A SPREADSHEET FORMULA TO ADD UP THE SUM OF DONATIONS AND REPORT BACK TO THE PEOPLE
• MAIL OUT THE OBJECT BEING RAFFLED

** BONUS ** SEND THANK YOU LETTERS OR A POSTCARD OF THE ART TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED**

VOILA YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CREATED AN ART RAFFLE FOR THE GOOD OF THE WORLD

<aside> 🌼 CONSIDERATIONS ON HOW TO GIVE *Originally written May 2020

What do I have access to? What identities of privilege do I hold? Who do I want to lift up? Where am I from? Whose land am I on? What resources didn’t I have growing up? Who has supported me?*

When we are taking in the atrocities of the world it can be so easy to get overwhelmed trying to understand where to redistribute, what to share, and how to understand what are our best options. Some ways I would add today :

What are my elders saying? What are the people most affected asking for? What are thought leaders that I trust on other subjects saying?

59 WAYS TO BE MORE RADICAL IN YOUR BUSINESS

This is a non exhaustive list of ways I have been taught, thought of myself, and gathered from over a decade as a self employed artist running a business in an anti capitalist framework

1. Start a book club and invite anyone to join it
2. Start a book club with one friend and weave in the lessons you are learning into your newsletter
3. Have a paid newsletter? Pick a new place to redistribute to each month and link it at the bottom of your newsletter or list it in your welcome email or about page
4. Make a piece of art, raffle it off
