Q: What is a Co-op Sweepstakes?

A mega giveaway used by multiple non-profits in different locations to solicit charity donations. Leveraging the partnership of multiple charities allows partners to reap the benefits of an otherwise prohibitively costly promotion.

Q: What is the average value of the prizes?

Our campaigns vary from $25,000 in prizes to over $100,000.

Q: How does the non-profit make money?

Non-profits use our campaigns to solicit funds and pay a small percentage of those funds towards the expense of running the promotion.

Q: How are the cost of the prizes covered?

The partners pay a percentage of what they raise as a fee to cover the costs of the promotion.

Q: What if costs of prizes aren't covered?

JMS is responsible to give away the prizes regardless of funds solicited and fees paid. In fact the promotion is insured and bonded before it starts which guarantees that the prizes will be paid.

Q: What are the costs and responsibilities of each partnering charity?

Depending on level of participation, nonprofits pitch in for costs commensurate to amount they raise. This protects the profit margins and bottom line of each partner regardless of their size.

Q: Is there any profit sharing involved?

Absolutely not! Each organization promotes, sells and processes their own tickets. A payment plan will be set up with each organization thereby limiting the need to come up with funds before the start of the campaign.

Q: Is there public affiliation between the charities involved in a campaign?

Not at all. Each organization operates their own campaign using their own logo, colors, design and color schemes. In fact a charity can choose prizes from an extensive list of options. This allows your campaign to be both unique as well as tailor made to your donor demographic, age and style.

Q: How do I know that all the complex gaming laws are being properly followed and that the promotion is properly licensed and bonded?

JMS uses the services of Ventura Associates International, a world-renowned promotions company that specializes in sweepstakes development and compliance. Ventura handles all aspects of the legal, regulatory, and compliance of the campaign in all 50 states and Canada. Through Ventura’s services our campaigns are all licensed and registered as well as bonded and insured. They also handle the winner selection and oversee prize dispensation and related paperwork.
