who you'll help
Omaze has teamed up with PATH, a nonprofit that works to end homelessness, to build a community hub at their downtown LA campus. And you’re going to be part of it! Your donation to this campaign will help transform the existing first floor of PATH into a hub of vital support services for thousands of individuals experiencing homelessness. And to commemorate your generosity toward this life-changing project, your name will be featured on the wall inside the hub once the renovation is done!
The Omaze Community Hub will be a welcoming space that provides a center for employment preparation, placement assistance for those in need of permanent housing and so much more.
Thanks to you, this awesome organization can continue doing what they do best—whether it’s building new housing or providing services like case management, medical and mental healthcare, benefits advocacy, or employment training. PATH is working to help Californians in over 140 cities maintain housing stability, and you’re a part of that! Thank you.

Transparency:
At Omaze, we believe fundraising should be about impact, not percentages. Our model allows us, in partnership with Charities Aid Foundation America (we call them CAFA), to really make a difference and disrupt the way society traditionally thinks about charitable giving.
Here’s how it works: Omaze and CAFA work together to offer incredible prizes and experiences that anyone can potentially win. You don’t have to donate to enter, but if you do, your donation to CAFA is then used to make a charitable grant to a great cause, which we love. Omaze pays for everything that’s needed to run the sweepstakes, which means the only ones taking a chance are the entrants (you!)—not the charity. The nonprofit can spend less time worrying about raising funds, and instead focus their energy on doing awesome work.
*Omaze also invests in securing the prizes for the typical Omaze Owned campaign, so for these, from every dollar you donate, 15 cents is passed directly through to CAFA, all of which is then used by CAFA to make a grant to the associated charity. If there are multiple charities, then grants of equal share are made to each charity. 70 cents is typically used to actually get the prize, process payments and advertise to awesome people like you (Omaze Owned campaigns require more significant marketing efforts by Omaze and do not rely (or rely to a much smaller degree) on the work and name of celebrities to help raise awareness and promote the campaign). The remaining 15 cents of your dollar goes to Omaze—it’s used to cover the cost of providing and maintaining the technology and team that makes this all happen.
The result? Causes get a guaranteed grant with no risk and no overhead or investment, our lucky winners get awesome prizes, and everyone else gets to help a great cause and spread joy!
