Title
Fundraising Through Charitable Gaming
Presenters
- Susan Bower, Assistant Attorney General, Oregon Department of Justice
- Laurie Conforth, CFE, Charitable Audit Coordinator, Oregon Department of Justice
Raffles, bingo, and Monte Carlo events are popular ways to fundraise for nonprofits. Because they are considered gambling, these events are regulated by the Oregon Department of Justice (“DOJ”). DOJ representatives will outline the rules for holding such events and answer your questions to help ensure your events are successful.
This webinar is part of NAO's 3-Part Summer Series with the Oregon DOJ.
Automatic closed captioning via Zoom is turned on by default for all NAO virtual sessions. For other accommodation requests, please contact us at training@nonprofitoregon.org. Advanced notice of at least 10 days is appreciated.
