Why Ethical Shopping Matters
Where you spend your money is a form of activism. By supporting companies that stand with Palestine — through donations, advocacy, or sourcing from Palestinian producers — you turn everyday purchases into acts of solidarity.
Types of Support
1. Companies That Donate Proceeds
Some businesses donate a portion of their profits to Palestinian humanitarian organizations or relief efforts.
2. Palestinian-Owned Brands
Buying directly from Palestinian-owned businesses supports the Palestinian economy and preserves cultural heritage.
3. Companies That Advocate Publicly
Some brands use their platforms to raise awareness about the situation in Palestine, amplifying Palestinian voices.
What to Look For
- Transparency: Clear statements about how they support Palestine
- Consistency: Ongoing support, not just during moments of peak attention
- Authenticity: Genuine commitment vs. performative solidarity
- Palestinian voices: Do they center Palestinian perspectives?
Beyond Shopping: Other Ways to Support
- Direct donation: Give to verified humanitarian organizations working in Palestine
- Monthly giving: Sustained support matters more than one-time gestures
- Fundraising: Organize community fundraisers at your masjid or school
- Advocacy: Contact elected officials, attend rallies, share information
Support Palestine Through Sustainable Impact
Umma Foundation delivers direct humanitarian aid to families in Gaza — bread distribution, water, meals, winter supplies, and education through the UMMA Center in Khan Yunis. 100% of your donation goes to programs, not marketing.
You can also support the broader mission through UMMA Farm — sustainable agriculture that generates revenue to fund ongoing relief operations in Palestine and beyond.
