Search with GoodSearch, Shop with GoodShop, Dine with GoodDining
GoodSearch is a powerful Yahoo-powered search engine that donates 50% of its revenue to Juma, while GoodShop.com is an online shopping and coupon portal that donates up to 30% of every item purchased from popular retailers like Amazon, Target and Macy’s. GoodDining is an everyday dine-out-for-charity program that donates up to 6% of the bill to Juma when you eat at any of the 10,000 participating restaurants nationwide.

Consider a Gift-In-Kind
In addition to monetary donations, gifts-in-kind are another effective way to support Juma's work. These donations can take the form of anything from lightly-used furniture to museum tickets to pro bono marketing and design services. If you are interested in making a gift-in-kind, please contact our development department at 415.371.0727 ext. 207.
