Charitable Giving Policies

At our NGO, we are committed to upholding the principles of fairness, transparency, and ethical stewardship when it comes to handling Zakāt contributions. Our Charitable Giving Policies

1. Eligibility Criteria for Zakāt Recipients
Charitable donations will be distributed to individuals and communities who meet the specific criteria set forth in Islamic law. These criteria include, but are not limited to:

  • Poor and Needy: Those who lack sufficient resources to meet their basic needs (food, shelter, clothing, etc.).
  • Debtors: Individuals burdened with debts that they are unable to repay.
  • Those Working for Charitable Giving: Individuals involved in the collection, distribution, or administration of charitable funds.
  • Travellers: Those who are stranded or facing hardship while traveling and require financial assistance.

2. Transparent Use of Funds
We place a strong emphasis on transparency in managing all charitable donations. Every contribution is carefully tracked and directed exclusively toward projects that align with the core principles of charitable giving. Funded initiatives include:

  • Educational programs for underprivileged students
  • Emergency relief efforts for those affected by natural disasters or crises
  • Healthcare services for low-income communities
  • Other essential needs as defined by Islamic law

3. Accountability and Reporting
We are committed to providing regular and comprehensive reports detailing how charitable funds have been utilized. These reports are made publicly available, ensuring that our donors can see exactly how their contributions are making a difference. This level of accountability reinforces our commitment to maintaining trust and transparency.

4. Restricted Use of Funds
Charitable donations are exclusively used for charitable purposes in accordance with Islamic teachings. These funds will never be allocated to administrative expenses, salaries, or any non-essential operational costs. Every penny of charitable giving goes directly to serving those in need.

5. Distribution Process
Funds are distributed based on assessments conducted by our local teams, who ensure that recipients meet the eligibility criteria outlined in Islamic law. The distribution is carried out fairly, equitably, and in a timely manner, maximizing the positive impact on the communities and individuals receiving support.

These policies are designed to ensure that charitable contributions are used effectively, ethically, and in full compliance with the values and principles of Islam. Through careful stewardship and transparent practices, we aim to create meaningful, lasting change in the lives of those who need it most.ensure that donations are used in accordance with Islamic teachings, providing assistance to those who are most in need while maintaining the highest standards of accountability.
