Grant giving
We are committed to supporting initiatives that align with our mission and values. If you have a project or program that requires funding, we encourage you to apply for a grant from our charity.
Forever giving forever rewarding
UK-based projects positively impacting the Muslim community. We welcome transformative initiatives with smart resource utilisation.
Currently, grants up to £10,000 (capped at 20% of annual income) are awarded. We aim to raise this limit in future cycles with increased donations to our Waqf investment fund. For exceptional cases, grants up to £25,000 may be awarded. Apply if your project merits priority consideration.
We are open to funding diverse needs, including typical and atypical costs for specific projects or entire organisations. Funds cover operational (equipment, utilities), core (salaries, rent), and even capital costs (property, land). Direct beneficiary costs like meals or transport are also considered.

Due Diligence
