Change in Raffle Reporting Requirements

A single aggregate report for all raffles held during the reporting year is due on or before October 1st. The Nonprofit Raffle Report (Form CT-NRP-2) must be used by all organizations, regardless of the number of raffles held. Precise record-keeping is required as reports that include estimates of proceeds and expenses will not be accepted for filing.

Organizations that host raffles as part of a larger fundraising event must maintain a record of raffle proceeds and expenses separate from all other event monies and report only raffle proceeds and expenses on Form CT-NRP-2.

There is no fee associated with filing the Nonprofit Raffle Report.
