Give what you make or do.

Many partners are looking for additional opportunities to support Umoja. We accept contributions of goods and services on their own, or in combination with financial support. Reach out and we will help build the right partnership.

Cash and accepted in-kind can be combined to reach a level.

Mixed Partnership Example
$5,000 cash + $5,000 at-cost in-kind $10,000 credit
Reaches Golden Boot.

Products, services, equipment, technology, travel, professional expertise — accepted in-kind support is credited at its documented at-cost value toward your partnership level. Tell us what your organization can provide and we'll follow up to confirm the value and the fit.

Accepted in-kind is credited at documented at-cost value — not retail, agreed with you before your level is set.
