Learn how our mission-driven platform and dedicated team make building, managing, and growing successful raffles simple—so local organizations can focus on their impact. Join us as we share our story, values, and commitment to strengthening Maine communities.
An Unexpected Turn of Events
Levin Marketing Solution a full-service marketing agency with over a decade of experience dedicated to helping local businesses thrive. When the COVID-19 pandemic forced one of our nonprofit clients to shift their traditional fundraising online, we realized there was literally no Maine-based platform approved for digital raffles.
So we partnered with the state, becoming the first provider in Maine to run compliant online raffles—ensuring our client could keep their critical programs funded.
Since then, Maine Online Raffles has helped dozens of nonprofits across the state raise vital funds, turning our agency’s marketing expertise into a purpose-driven mission for community impact.
