Concerning requirements for fund-raising events of bona fide charitable or nonprofit organizations.
HB 2625 amends Washington State law to update fundraising rules for legitimate charitable and nonprofit organizations. It raises the annual revenue cap for unlicensed raffles from $5,000 to $10,000 and introduces "enhanced raffles" with higher prize limits ($5 million or $10 million) for qualifying organizations, such as those serving individuals with intellectual disabilities or with a history of significant raffle revenue. The bill requires organizations to maintain detailed financial records, conduct independent audits for enhanced raffles, and adhere to specific participation rules (e.g., only bona fide members manage events). These changes directly affect nonprofits conducting raffles, bingo, or amusement games as part of their fundraising activities.
