What JOOD does

JOOD (جود) is a Saudi Arabia-based, privately held SaaS company that operates a cloud donation-management platform for charitable organizations. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in the Al-Yasmin district of Riyadh, the business is legally registered as Ma'alat Al-Ibtikar for Communications and Information Technology Company (شركة علامات الابتكار للاتصالات وتقنية المعلومات) and employs 44 staff. The platform has facilitated SAR 3 billion (~$800M USD) in cumulative donations across more than 1,000 charity tenants and 9 million registered donor accounts.

The product is a white-label donation storefront builder that bundles an Arabic-language drag-and-drop site editor, a unified payment gateway (Visa, Mastercard, Mada, Apple Pay, PayPal, STC Pay, bank transfer), donor and campaign management, recurring donations, abandoned-cart recovery, Google Analytics 4 integration, and Sharia-compliant tooling — notably a Zakat calculator and digital endowment (waqf) documents. Modules such as SMS outreach, digital gift cards, media/news centers, and governance/compliance reporting extend the surface area into a broader vertical CRM for Islamic charities rather than a pure payments utility.

JOOD runs a sales-led B2B go-to-market: charities register via a request form on jood.fund, the inside-sales team onboards them, and the existing 1,000+ charity base functions as a referral channel (شركاء النجاح). Revenue is generated via tiered subscriptions (with a freemium launch tier) plus separately billed payment-gateway transaction fees. Marketing is primarily an Arabic content blog plus partner referrals. Geographic scope is single-country (Saudi Arabia); no international footprint, funding rounds, M&A, or parent-company relationships are disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Salesforce.org Nonprofit Cloud: Salesforce.org offers nonprofit-specific CRM, fundraising, and program management as part of the Salesforce ecosystem. It overlaps JOOD on donor management and reporting but is a generalized enterprise platform rather than a donation-only SaaS.
• Network for Good (Bonterra): Network for Good, part of Bonterra, is a broader nonprofit software suite combining donation processing, CRM, and fundraising tools. It is a broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities to JOOD but is a multi-product platform rather than a Saudi-focused vertical specialist.

Direct peers

• Funraise: Funraise is a nonprofit fundraising software platform with donation forms, CRM, and campaign management. It competes in the same vertical SaaS niche as JOOD—charity-focused online giving infrastructure—though primarily serving US and Canadian nonprofits.
• Donorbox: Donorbox is a global online donation platform for nonprofits offering branded donation pages, recurring giving, and donor management. It is directly comparable to JOOD in product scope (donation storefront + recurring gifts + donor CRM), though it serves a global, mostly Western nonprofit market.
• Bloomerang: Bloomerang provides donor management and fundraising software for nonprofits with built-in donation processing, email marketing, and reporting. It directly overlaps JOOD's donor relationship management and donation analytics modules.
• Classy (GoFundMe Pro): Classy, now part of GoFundMe Pro, is an established donation and fundraising platform for nonprofits offering branded giving pages, recurring donations, and donor CRM. It is comparable to JOOD on product surface but addresses a much larger Western nonprofit market.
• LaunchGood: LaunchGood is the leading Islamic-focused crowdfunding and donation platform globally. It is comparable to JOOD because both target Muslim donors and faith-driven giving (Zakat, sadaqah), though LaunchGood operates as a public marketplace rather than a B2B SaaS.
• Givebutter: Givebutter is a US-based fundraising platform for nonprofits providing donation forms, event ticketing, and donor engagement tools. It overlaps directly with JOOD on donation page creation, recurring donations, and integrated payment processing for charities.
• YallaGive: YallaGive is a UAE-based online donation platform that enables charities in the Gulf to launch digital fundraising campaigns. It is the most direct regional peer to JOOD, serving a similar Middle East nonprofit customer base with comparable Arabic-language donation flows.

Others

• Stripe: Stripe provides payment infrastructure that JOOD integrates with and that powers donation flows globally. It is adjacent rather than direct competition, but Stripe's nonprofit-specific tooling (e.g., Stripe Donations) could pressure vertical donation platforms over time.
