As of January 28, 2023, Omaze ceased operations in the United States. A note from the CEO was placed on the new webpage. <blockquote>"As of January 28 2023, we’re changing the way we do things. In order to have the biggest impact for our charity partners, worldwide, we’re simplifying the experiences we offer. While we reflect on how to do this effectively in the US, we will not be adding new experiences to omaze.com.

To be the first to hear about our exciting new experiences when they launch, make sure you follow us on Facebook and Instagram. And remember, if you’re based in the UK, you can head on over to omaze.co.uk now, and check out our live draws.

We will, of course, honor all of the US experiences that have already been won, as well as the donations to our charity partners, which, to date total: $160M to charities worldwide.

When we started Omaze in 2012, I never could have imagined the huge impact our community would have on the world. As we take this opportunity to reflect on how we can increase our global impact, I will never forget that this is where it all began.

Our donors in the US have made countless dreams come true. You have changed lives. And I look forward to opening the next chapter on this incredible journey with you.

We will be back.

Love and Optimism,

Matt"

Omaze is a for-profit fundraising company that partners with charities in fundraising events. To enter the draw for the prizes, financial contributions were encouraged, with 15% to 60% of the money going to the partner charity.[1][2][3]

The company was founded by Charlie Cummins and Matthew Pohlson in 2012[4] in Los Angeles, California. The company has raised over $130 million[5] for over 350 charities,[5] including UNICEF,[6] After-School All-Stars,[7] Julia's House,[8] Product Red,[9] and Make-A-Wish Foundation.[10]

While initially founded in the United States, the company ceased to operate in the country as of 2023 due to regulatory issues, though it remains active in the United Kingdom.

Contests

[edit]

Omaze offer sweepstakes, often accompanied by celebrity endorsements. Entrants are encouraged to contribute financially to the cause, with the amount given determining the number of sweepstake entries that the person receives.[11]

Sweepstake systems such as Omaze include a "no purchase necessary" clause to avoid being classed as a lottery.[12] In the US, participants could select an "enter for free" option to receive 2,000 entries at no cost.[13] In the United Kingdom, participants may submit a postal entry with no fee.[14]

Omaze released their first sweepstakes in July 2012, with the winner becoming a judge on Cupcake Wars and all entries supported Team Rubicon.[15]

In December 2015, Omaze partnered with Star Wars where people donated $10 to be entered to win the opportunity to visit the closed set of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The experience raised more than $4.26 million to benefit UNICEF.[16] The experience launch video was a 2016 Webby Award Honoree.[17]

In January 2023, Omaze paused operations in the United States.[18] This came soon after a large layoff of Omaze employees. On December 9th, 2022, Omaze laid off 103 employees.[19]

Sweepstake entries for a celebrity experience (set visit, dinner date, tickets to a premiere, etc.) see 60% of the money donated to charity, 25% towards fees and Omaze's costs for advertising and creating content for the event, and 15% to Omaze as profit.[2]

For prize-based experiences (like a car, vacation, or tuition), 15% went to the charity, 70% to sourcing and shipping the prize, covering the winner's taxes, processing credit card fees, and Omaze's costs in marketing and creating content for the experience, and 15% to Omaze in profit.[2]
