Good Deeds Are Contagious.
BeLikeJoe started with a real supporter named Joe, who wanted to support the Benicia High School Marching Band during their Double Good popcorn fundraiser.
That simple, generous moment sparked an idea: What if supporting local schools, dance troupes, sports teams, and academic clubs was this fun, lighthearted, and easy to share?
Instead of treating fundraising like a chore or an awkward solicitation, BeLikeJoe turns community generosity into a joyful, shareable celebration where everyday people can inspire their friends and family to give back.
Our Core Principles
100% Direct Support
BeLikeJoe does not process payments or take a single cent from donations. We link directly to official fundraising platforms (like Double Good, restaurant dine-outs, and school boosters) so every penny reaches the students.
Fun, Comic-Style Spirit
No dry nonprofit bureaucracy. We celebrate community giving with friendly comic panels, bold colors, and viral shareable graphics that make people smile.
Built for Easy Sharing
Every campaign has one-click sharing for mobile apps, group chats, and social media feeds, plus downloadable square posts and Instagram Stories.
Free for All Causes
Listing an organization or fundraiser on BeLikeJoe is completely free of charge. We exist solely to uplift local youth arts, music, sports, and academics.
The Inspiration
"BeLikeJoe started with a simple act of kindness. Joe didn't need popcorn, but he wanted to support the Benicia High School Marching Band. So he donated popcorn to a teacher instead.
That small act inspired an idea: what if we could make supporting local organizations a little more fun, personal, and shareable?"
