In-Kind Donations
Give More Than a Donation
Donate Goods, Services & Resources
WHAT IS AN IN-KIND DONATION?
An in-kind donation is a contribution of goods, products, services, or professional expertise instead of money. Whether you’re an individual or a business, your contribution helps support Umoja’s programs and the communities we serve.
