Ramadan Giving

Through GlobalGiving, you can make charitable donations to high-impact projects for Ramadan and feel confident your zakat and sadaqah will make a difference. This year, we are partnering with Mecca.com, one of the world's biggest online communities for Muslims — for every five people who register on the Mecca.com website and make a donation through GlobalGiving, Mecca.com will provide an additional $1 towards these projects.

All projects on GlobalGiving are sourced through reputable, high-quality organizations, and GlobalGiving ensures that all projects satisfy IRS guidelines for international grant making, meet tax-deductible requirements, and follow anti-terrorism laws. Donors also received feedback and updates on how contributions are being used, so you can see your impact.
