Omaze

At the heart of Omaze lies a profound belief in the power of dreams to change the world. The company's journey began with a simple yet powerful question from co-founders Matt Pohlson and Ryan Cummins after they were outbid at a charity auction for a chance to meet Magic Johnson. They wondered why such incredible experiences should only be accessible to the wealthy and how that single prize could generate so much more for a worthy cause. This spark of curiosity ignited a revolutionary approach to fundraising, one that democratizes giving and makes it an exciting, engaging, and accessible experience for everyone. Omaze was built on the conviction that the traditional fundraising model was ready for a transformation, freeing non-profits from the constraints of conventional methods and empowering them to focus on their vital work.

The culture at Omaze is a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of purpose, innovation, and joy. It's a community of 'world changers' united by a shared mission to create a ripple effect of good. This ethos is reflected in their core values: 'we before me,' 'grow together,' 'take ownership,' 'dream giant,' and 'spread joy.' These aren't just words on a wall; they are the guiding principles that shape every decision, from campaign creation to team collaboration. The team is driven by the challenge of building something that has never been done before, scaling a for-profit enterprise that is fundamentally designed for social impact. This unique blend of ambition and altruism fosters a fast-paced, high-growth environment where employees are encouraged to bring their authentic selves to work, knowing that their contributions are part of a larger movement to make a meaningful difference in the world. The narrative of Omaze is one of optimism, resilience, and the unwavering belief that by uniting people through shared dreams, they can collectively build a better world for all.
