More Ways to Give.

Sustain your impact effortlessly. By giving monthly, your reliable support ensures the continuity of programs. For just $11 a month, you can help support sequential learning for one student for the whole year.

Give Now

Make a meaningful impact by donating appreciated stock
If you’ve held stock (or other publicly traded securities) for over a year, you can donate the shares—rather than selling them—and potentially avoid capital gains tax, while receiving a tax deduction for the full fair market value.

Learn How to Give Appreciated Stock

Elevate your impact strategically. Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are a powerful and flexible tool for thoughtful giving. Consider allocating your DAF to JASoCal.

Give DAFs

Your passion for JA is your legacy. Consider supporting JA with gifts of stock, real estate, beneficiary designation, or a will or trust designation, and your enduring impact will shape generations to come.

Leave a Legacy

Amplify your generosity through employee match-giving. Many companies have a matching gift program for their employees that provides a match for donations or offers a financial contribution for volunteering. Double (or triple) your impact by exploring your employee’s program.

“I learned to save money for the future and things you really need. I was surprised how a lot of things cost so much money, and it adds up. You don’t realize how much you’re actually spending. To prepare for the future, I can start saving my money and not spend it on random things I don’t need.”
