About Omaze

Omaze is a fundraising company that gives anyone the chance to win life-changing prizes while also empowering world-changing nonprofits.

We created a fundraising platform for a new generation of donors. We give everyone a chance to dream big and win once-in-a-lifetime prizes while helping to make the world a better place. This sustainable approach to fundraising means that nonprofits can spend less time and money raising funds, and instead focus on serving the needs of their communities.

Fundamentally, we believe the traditional charitable fundraising model is broken. Nonprofits are held back from investing in marketing, tech and the top talent that could transform the scale of how they raise funds. Instead they rely on expensive galas and outdated methods to reach their goals.

Where Your Money Goes

Omaze is a registered commercial fundraiser for various US-registered 501(c)(3) public charities (each a “Charity Client”). When you donate and enter for the chance to win an experience with a celebrity prize (set visit, dinner date, tickets to a premiere, etc.), 60% of your donation is guaranteed to go to the identified designated grantee(s), via a grant from one of our Charity Clients. For these experiences, typically 25%, on average, is used to pay for experience costs, such as advertising and content creation costs and payment processing fees.

When you donate and enter for the chance to win an experience with a non-celebrity prize (like a car, vacation, or cash), 15% of your donation is guaranteed to go to the identified designated grantee(s), via a grant from one of our Charity Clients. Typically between 65-75%, on average, is used to pay for experience costs, such as Prize costs, advertising and content creation, and payment processing fees.

Historically, across all experience types Omaze nets approximately 20%.
