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.
The company was founded by Charlie Cummins and Matthew Pohlson in 2012 in Los Angeles, California, United States. The company has raised over $130 million for over 350 charities, including UNICEF, After-School All-Stars, Julia's House, Product Red, and Make-A-Wish Foundation.
While initially founded in the United States, the company paused operations in the country as of 2023 as a commercial decision, though it remains active in the United Kingdom.
