An article about the
Welsh Foundation was recently deleted and blocked prior to allowing me the opportunity to provide justification for the article. The article was initially deleted because it was deemed to "not assert notability." I disagree with this opinion as this organization is the first and only 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is funded entirely by proceeds of a
Charitable Lottery Pool (CLP). This unique approach to fund-raising is significant because it is not currently utilized by any other public charity. Please reconsider the deletion of this article. —Preceding

Being funded by a lottery does not equate to notability - many organisations worldwide are funded in such a way. Indeed, the practice is common in the rest of the Western world, particularly in the UK, where raffles, tombolas, and national lottery pools have been operating for years. If you feel the company is still notable, please make a request at
deletion reviews. I would, however, strongly suggest that you read
WP:COI first, and wait for someone else to make an article about the organisation.
