In this release, we will be adding new functionality to our Raffles and Sweepstakes fundraising activities, allowing organizers to place prizes into categories. Categories will help donors sort and filter prizes they may be looking for, boosting their interest in donating. This functionality is exactly the same as what we currently have for our Sale and Auction Item categories. So, those familiar with using categories for those types of experiences should be able to make use of this new feature with ease.

Organizers will be able to enable Categories in Experience Setup (See Screenshot Above) under the Sweepstakes or Raffles section of their experience. From there they will be able to create categories and adjust their display order on the Experience Page. After category creation, users will then be able to assign each prize they create to the appropriate category (Screenshot). After creating prizes and assigning categories, donors will be able to view the prizes under the sweepstake or raffle entry options on the experience page, and filter the prizes using the category dropdown selector (Screenshot).
