The People Behind the Work
Accountable, by name.
Every dollar you give is handled by someone with a name and a job to do, answerable to Allah before they are answerable to any donor. Here they are.
Every responsibility below belongs to a named person. When a role moves, this page moves with it.

Zakat reviewed by qualified scholars
Qualified Islamic scholars review how we decide who is eligible for Zakat and how it reaches them, measured against the eight asnaf (categories of Zakat recipients) named in Surah At-Tawbah (9:60). We give priority to the fuqara (poor) and masakin (destitute).
Institutional donors and partners can request the scholar advisory details.
﴿إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقَاتُ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْعَامِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا﴾
“Zakat is only for the poor and the needy, and those who administer it...”
Surah At-Tawbah, 9:60
