Zakat

Apply for zakat assistance

For families in our community who need help. Everything you tell us stays between you and the reviewer.

Zakat is for households that are struggling to cover what they need — rent, utilities, food, medical bills, a month with no work. If that is where you are, please apply. You are not asking for a favour.

You will need four things: photo ID, proof of address, recent pay stubs, and two months of bank statements — as PDF, JPG, PNG or HEIC, up to 50 MB each. You can photograph them with your phone.

One application per household every twelve months; the reviewer usually replies within two weeks.
