Charter Membership

Founding Partners of Dakota Jackpots

Dakota Jackpots was built to bring nonprofits together into a single, powerful fundraising ecosystem. Our Charter Members represent the first organizations to step forward and help establish this model across South Dakota.

To recognize their leadership and early commitment, Charter Members receive the most favorable structure we will offer.

Highest Payout Structure

Charter Members receive our top-tier revenue share, currently set at:

Up to 38% of total ticket sales
with a targeted path to 40% as the platform scales

This positions Charter Members at the highest level of return available within the Dakota Jackpots system.

Built-In Local Revenue Ecosystem

Charter Members also benefit from a unique local partner incentive model designed to expand reach and drive ticket sales organically.

Each Charter Member can activate a network of:

• Retailers

• Bars and restaurants

• Event venues

• Community partners

These locations receive:

15% of their tracked ticket sales
paid back in the form of:

• Gift cards

• Memberships

• Event tickets

This structure creates a true win-win:

• Local businesses are incentivized to promote the raffle

• Nonprofits gain extended reach into the community

• Supporters engage in a more meaningful, local experience

Event-Based Jackpot Drawings

As part of the Charter Member program, we will work to feature your organization as a host site for a Dakota Jackpots drawing.

Our goal is to coordinate:

• A live 50/50 jackpot drawing

• Held at one of your events or venues

• Supported by our marketing and partner network

This provides:

• Increased attendance and visibility

• A high-energy fundraising moment

• Direct engagement with your supporters

Limited to 30 Founding Organizations

The Charter Member program is intentionally limited.

We are accepting:

The first 30 nonprofits
across our core categories

Once filled, this tier and its benefits will no longer be available in this form.

Why Charter Membership Matters

Charter Members are not just participants—they are foundational partners helping shape a statewide fundraising platform.

They benefit from:

• The highest payout structure

• Early access to new raffle formats

• Priority placement in marketing and promotions

• A growing network of aligned nonprofits and community partners
