Thanks to everyone who supported Black Voters Matter

No purchase, payment or donation of any kind is necessary to enter or win. A purchase, payment or donation will not increase chances of winning. Capitalized terms used and not defined below have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Official Rules, available here.

1. Winner(s):

One (1) grand prize winner (the “Winner”) + One (1) (“Guest”) 

2. Sponsor:

Omaze, Inc. (referred to herein as “Omaze” or “Sponsor”)

3. Designated Grantee:

Black Voters Matter Fund (“Designated Grantee”). 

This Experience is part of a fundraising campaign for Charities Aid Foundation America (“CAF America”), which is a globally recognized, United States 501(c)(3) public charity. Omaze transfers 100% of donations raised by an Experience to CAF America, who then uses the donations, less various Experience costs and fees, to fund and distribute grants to the Designated Grantee. 

All Designated Grantees are pre-validated by CAF America to confirm they meet CAF America’s applicable eligibility requirements to receive grants. So long as the identified Designated Grantee remains eligible to receive grants from CAF America, CAF America will distribute grants to Designated Grantee out of the donations raised in this Experience.

If, at some point prior to the distribution of a grant, CAF America determines that an identified Designated Grantee is no longer eligible to receive grants, then CAF America may (i) withhold distribution of the grant until the Designated Grantee is eligible or (ii) grant the funds to another nonprofit with a similar mission to the identified Designated Grantee’s mission. If the donations granted to a cause other than the identified Designated Grantee(s), the Experience webpage will be updated to identify what entity(ies) were supported by the donations of that Experience.

4. Deadline to Enter:

This Experience begins January 13, 2021 at 12:01 a.m., Pacific Standard Time and ends April 14, 2021 at 11:59 p.m., Pacific Standard Time (the “Entry Period”). Sponsor is the official timekeeper.

The maximum number of entries for any one person into this Experience (the “Entry Limit”) is six thousand (6,000), regardless of the method of entry. 

6. Potential Winner Notification:

A random drawing will be conducted on or about close of Entry Period.  Winner will be drawn from among all valid entries received by Sponsor during the Entry Period. Potential Winner will be notified, on or about three (3) of days after the Entry Period and must timely respond in accordance with the terms and deadlines stated in the Official Rules.

*****************

Fundraising Transparency

This Experience is part of a fundraising campaign for Charities Aid Foundation America (“CAF America”), which is a globally recognized United States 501(c)(3) public charity (Federal Tax ID # 43-1634280). CAF America retains exclusive control over all donations raised in this Experience.

(a) How it works: Omaze and CAF America work together to offer incredible Experiences, like this one. You don’t have to donate to enter, but if you do, 100% of your donation goes to CAF America, who then distributes the donations, minus the Experience fees and costs, to the nonprofit(s) identified on the experience page (the “Designated Grantee(s)”). Our model allows CAF America and the non-profit grantees to spend less time worrying about raising funds and instead focus their energy on doing awesome work.

(b) Where your donation goes: For Omaze Owned Experiences, like this one, 15% of the total donations goes to the Designated Grantee(s) via a grant from CAF America. (If there are multiple Designated Grantees, then this amount is equally distributed to each). CAF America retains a small percentage of the total donations (less than 1%) to cover its own operating costs. Omaze uses the remaining amount to pay for the Experience costs, such as Prize costs, payment processing fees, and advertising to awesome people like you, and to cover our operating costs of providing and maintaining the technology and team that makes this all happen. Owned Experiences have higher costs associated with prizing and promotion, which is why a larger percentage goes to Experience costs.

(c) Designated Grantee Eligibility: Before every Experience, CAF America confirms the Designated Grantee(s) as eligible to receive grants. In the rare case where, after the launch of an Experience but before distribution of the donations, a Designated Grantee fails to maintain eligibility (per CAF America’s grant-making policies and/or applicable laws), then CAF America may (i) withhold distribution of the donations until the Designated Grantee is eligible or (ii) reassign the donations to another nonprofit that supports a similar cause. If CAF America reassigns the donations to an alternate organization, the Experience page will be updated to identify what entity(ies) received the grant(s).

(d) When will the Designated Grantee get the money? Omaze sends 100% of donations from this Experience to CAF America within 2 business days of Omaze’s receipt of the donation. The speed at which CAF America distributes the donations to the Designated Grantee(s) depends on the classification of the Experience and can be anywhere from 2 weeks after Omaze received your donation to 90 days from the close of the Experience. In circumstances where a Designated Grantee fails to maintain eligibility to receive grants, the above grant distribution timeframes may be impacted.

For Experiences where the grant amount is a percentage of total donations (e.g., Premiere and Owned Experiences), CAF America will distribute the donations via multiple grants throughout the duration of the Experience, usually within 10-15 business days following CAF America’s receipt of donations from Omaze. 

For Experiences where the grant amount is a percentage of Adjusted Donations (total donations minus Experience costs), CAF America will distribute donations after reconciliation of all Experience costs (usually within 15-90 days following the close of the Experience).
