Tips for Applicants

Approach this funder with projects that align with core Islamic charitable principles—particularly Qurban distribution, Zakat dispersion, or orphan sponsorship. Emphasise direct, accountable distribution methods and working with local community networks. Given their focus on Indonesia (Lombok) and domestic Australian operations, proposals spanning both regions may be well-received.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation operates on a non-discriminatory philosophy, distributing aid directly 'from hand to hand' with respect and dignity. It partners with local caretakers and community members in beneficiary areas to identify those with genuine need, particularly focusing on the religious observance of Qurbani and Zakat obligations. All activities are conducted with veterinary control, professional butchers, and sterile processes for meat distribution.
