Is my contribution tax deductible?

All donations made through the Omaze platform  go to the Charities Aid Foundation America (CAFA), a U.S. 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity. CAFA has partnered with Omaze to make giving internationally and domestically safe, easy and effective for U.S. donors by raising charitable donations from members of the public to fund monetary grants to other charitable organizations.

In accordance with the terms of the sweepstakes you entered, so long as the designated grantee  specified in the sweepstakes remains eligible to receive grants when the sweepstakes ends, CAFA will grant an amount equal to the net proceeds (as defined on each campaign page under the section entitled, “stuff our lawyers want you to read”) from the sweepstakes to the designated grantee. See section 3 of the Terms of Use for more information on donations and CAFA’s grant making process.

Anyone who donates to CAFA through the Omaze platform receives chances to win prizes, however, no donation is required to enter to win a campaign, and a donation does not increase your chances of winning a campaign.  Because a donation is not required to enter, and because CAFA is a U.S. charity, all donations made by U.S. donors through the Omaze platform are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.  If your donation is accompanied by a campaign perk, the amount of your donation that is deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be limited to the excess of the amount contributed over the value of goods or services provided.  If you have any questions regarding your tax obligations, you should consult with your own tax advisor. If you are a U.S. donor and would like us to send you a formal donation tax receipt or if there is anything else we can do to be of assistance, please contact our Customer Experience team at weloveyou@omaze.com.
