Omaze
For-profit fundraiser / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Omaze was an American for-profit fundraising company that partnered with charities in fundraising events. Omaze's events featured prizes, such as material goods, property, or celebrity experiences, usually with one grand prize and several lesser prizes. In order 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]
