Make a Donation
 
Help make the world a better place for a child!  Even $5 will help. One person truly can make a real difference!
 
Donate While Shopping
 
Sign up with iGive.com and a percentage of every purchase you make online through any of their participating retailers will be donated to the Jim Arden Foundation. It doesn’t cost anything and it’s easy! 
 
Make In-kind Donations
 
To a child in need, a pad of paper and a few pencils can make the difference between being able to attend school or missing out on an education. Consider asking your group or organization to help collect school supplies or some of the many other items (such as new or gently-used clothing, books, toiletries, educational toys and art materials) that we can donate to needy children!
 
Volunteer in Tanzania
 
If you like to travel, consider volunteering in Tanzania. You can teach English, teach Math, participate in enrichment and sports activities with local school teams, with the TACODA teams, and with the TACODA children. You can also help with repairs and renovations to the TACODA Children’s Center.
 
Take a Safari with Us
 
Share the beauty of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crate and other sites with us as your guide. We will introduce you to Maasai tribesmen as well bushmen and their families. And, spend some time with us at the TACODA Children's Center too.
"I've been involved in worthy causes over the years but none of them have sparked the enthusiasm and joy I feel when I'm helping the TACODA children. Right from the start the smiling faces of the children captured my heart. I’ve also found the hands-on nature of volunteering for TACODA to be energizing.
