Who We Are:
Omaze is a venture-backed fundraising platform that helps raise funds and
awareness for charity by offering anyone the chance to win once-in-a-lifetime
experiences and prizes. Omaze democratizes the charitable giving experience
and offers curated prizes that no other platform can match.
Omaze was founded in 2012 to disrupt the fundraising space and bring additive
dollars to charities that are too often limited by outdated methods like
expensive and time-intensive annual galas. Nearly a decade later, Omaze has
raised over $150M net to support over 400 charities, and has set sights on
raising $1B in a single year. Headquartered in Los Angeles, we successfully
launched in the UK in 2019 and are excited to continue our growth and
expansion in this market offering dream homes.
In the UK, Omaze has given away a number of dream homes all across the UK,
netting over £3,000,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust, British Heart Foundation,
The Prince’s Trust, Cancer Research UK and Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Whether you are the grand prize winner or not, every donation supports a
worthy, vetted cause like these.
