Omaze

Omaze is a for-profit entertainment and fundraising company founded in July 2012 by Matthew Pohlson and Ryan Cummins.

Based in Culver City, California, Omaze partners with charities to run prize-based sweepstakes, allowing participants to win valuable prizes while supporting various charitable causes. The company aims to make charitable giving fun and accessible by replacing traditional high-bid auctions with low-entry sweepstakes. Omaze has raised over $250 million for charities, with a goal of raising $1 billion in a single year. Its online platform offers participants the chance to win luxury experiences, high-value properties, and more. Customers can enter by purchasing chances to win, with a portion of sales directed to partner charities. The company also provides support services to nonprofits, including video production, analytics, and social media distribution. Omaze operates in the US, UK, and Germany, connecting donors with over 350 charities globally.
