Does Omaze pay its charity partner ambassadors?
Nope. Whether they’re world-famous, award-winning or just very, very funny, every charity ambassador who appears in our Omaze Million Pound House Draws takes part out of dedication to the charity they represent.
As Jennifer Saunders, Wellbeing of Women Ambassador for our Cornwall House Draw, put it:
“If I was being paid, I’d be better dressed than this, I tell you. I’d be in a huge, long Dior gown on a chaise longue and have a bloody wind machine on me…actually, can I get a wind machine?”
From David Beckham and Benedict Cumberbatch to Olivia Colman and Romesh Ranganathan, every celebrity ambassador we’ve worked with has shown up for the same reason: they believe in the cause.
What happened to your charity raise reveals? They were fun.
They were, weren’t they? The suspense. The tears. The wildly oversized cheque energy. The end-of-draw reveal where everyone tried very hard to keep it together and almost nobody did.
In 2025 we changed the way we work with our charity partners, to give each charity more certainty.
Instead of waiting until the end of a House Draw to reveal the final amount raised, we now confirm what each charity partner will receive in advance.
That means easier planning and a bigger long-term impact.
How do the charities feel about that?
Pretty good, actually.
Our charity partners have told us that raising a significant amount of money in a short space of time was incredible. But knowing what funding they’ll receive, and when they’ll receive it, is just as important.
It helps them plan ahead, budget with confidence and support more people over the long term.
So, how much does each charity receive from their House Draw?
Each charity partnered with an Omaze Million Pound House Draw receives a guaranteed £1,000,000 payment linked to that House Draw.
But didn’t charities receive more than that before?
Sometimes, yes. Under the previous model, some charity raise totals were higher than £1,000,000. Others were lower. It depended on the draw.
Now, every charity partner receives £1,000,000 from their House Draw, plus a separate multi-million pound grant from Omaze, paid over a number of years.
Say what?
Exactly. Let’s break it down.
Each charity partner is guaranteed to receive £1,000,000 from the specific House Draw they’re partnered with.
They also receive a separate multi-million pound grant from Omaze over the years following that House Draw.
The grants are independent of any specific House Draw and aren’t linked to how many people enter one particular draw. They’re part of Omaze’s wider commitment to giving vital UK charities the certainty they need to plan ahead, helping make the money that the Omaze Community raises even more transformational.
How do I know how much a charity has received from Omaze?
When a House Draw closes, we’ll update the Charity Partner page with the total amount the charity will receive from Omaze. Keep an eye out for the big reveal.
Does Omaze ever work with a charity more than once?
Yes. For some charity partners, one House Draw is just the start of something bigger.
We first partnered with GOSH Charity in 2021. Now, they’re part of Omaze’s first ever multi-year partnership, with a longer-term £12,000,000 commitment from Omaze to help build a new, world-leading Children’s Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
That means support can go beyond one incredible campaign, helping charities plan ahead, build momentum and take on bigger ambitions. One House Draw can make a real difference—but a longer-term partnership can help that impact go even further.
We’ve also partnered with NSPCC, Blood Cancer UK and Teenage Cancer Trust more than once.
Right. And what what does that mean for me?
It means your entries still help support incredible UK charities. You still get the chance to win a life-changing house with £250,000 cash to help you settle in. You can still Live in. Rent Out. Sell Up. And our charity partners get more certainty to do more good, for longer.
Together, the Omaze Community has now helped raise over £150,000,000 for good causes across the UK—and we’re just getting started. And it starts with you–so thank you!
Every Omaze Million Pound House Draw has one guaranteed winner too. And you could be next.
That’s the win:win.
