When someone donates for the chance to win an experience with a celebrity prize (set visit, dinner date, tickets to a premiere, etc.), 60% is guaranteed to go to the identified nonprofit beneficiary, via a grant from CAF America.  For these experiences, typically 25%, on average, is used to pay for experience costs, such as advertising and content creation costs and payment processing fees.


When someone donates for the chance to win an experience with a non-celebrity prize (like a car, vacation, or cash), 15% of the donation is guaranteed to go to the identified nonprofit beneficiary, via a grant from CAF America. Typically, between 65-75%, is used to pay for experience costs, such as prize costs, advertising and content creation, and payment processing fees.

 
Historically, across all experience types, Omaze nets approximately 12-20%.  On campaigns where there is matching, 100% of the match goes to the identified nonprofit beneficiary.
