Can a home owner play a part in advertising their house raffle?
Yes, you can. But only as far as your non-profit and state law will allow. If your non-profit wants you to have no role in it. Then you can not. These things need to be hammered out between you and your non-profit at the onset of your raffle process. Normally there is some contingency contract that is put in place, this is where these specifics are hammered out. Most Non-profits are going to ask that you are as involved as possible. After all, it is your home, and the only way the house raffle will be successful is if you have some role in the process. Even if it is as small has hosting weekly open houses for the potential ticket buyers, you or your Realtor will be needed. You could be asked to play a major roll like handling some interviews with the news media. The ultimate goal is to provide enough visibility to your raffle to sell enough tickets to purchase your home and to raise funds for the charities involved.
