We thought... what if anyone could win life-changing prizes online by raising money for the charities they love?
With Omaze, you don’t have to wait for your invitation to a gala or attend a black-tie dinner. By building a platform online that puts fundraising at your fingertips, Omaze proudly offers everyone the chance to win and the opportunity to give. No dress code required. To date, people from more than 180 countries have made donations through Omaze, and we suspect more than a few have flexed their generosity while relaxing in their jammies.
Omaze started when our Co-Founders, Matt [pictured] and Ryan, were coming home from an exclusive charity fundraising auction. The top bid of $15,000 won court side tickets to watch a basketball game with their idol, Magic Johnson.
Two things occurred to them: why should these amazing experiences only go to the highest bidder? And how could such an epic prize only raise $15,000 for charity? Imagine if we made these opportunities available online and gave everyone the chance to win. It would mean many more people could participate, and a lot more money would be raised for charity. That's what we call a win-win.
Omaze winners have enjoyed a double date with Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, lunched with George and Amal Clooney at their Lake Como home, and watched the Game of Thrones series finale with Emilia Clarke. We’ve also sent winners surfing in Hawaii, riding the rails across Europe, and cruising home in Porsches, Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
Now, we’re expanding our prize pool with permanent places to rest your fantasy-filled head: dream houses.
Next up: a luxury London townhouse worth over £3,000,000, with over 2,000 additional prizes. For the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, London, we're supporting the British Heart Foundation (through our partnership with CAF America) to raise essential funds to support vital research to prevent, diagnose, treat and cure heart and circulatory diseases.
We see you are visiting us from the beautiful state of California. Unfortunately, California residents cannot contribute to this specific fundraiser. But please know there's plenty of dream experiences you can enter for your chance to win here!
