How do donations work?

Donations made through the Omaze platform go to Charities Aid Foundation America (CAF America), a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity. CAF America 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 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, CAF America will provide 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 as a charitable grant. See section 3 of the Terms of Use for more information on donations and CAF America’s grant making process.
