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.
