What Islamic charities in Australia do
Many Islamic charities in Australia grew out of local mosques and community centres. Alongside prayer and religious classes, they run practical services: food for people doing it tough, support for refugees and migrants, disability services, and programs for young people.
Others raise money for people overseas after a flood, earthquake or conflict. If you're giving your zakat, our guide to zakat donations lists charities with Ramadan, Qurban and zakat programs. If housing is the need, our guide to homeless charities in Australia is a good next stop.
Giving to a local Islamic charity keeps your money close to home. It helps groups that support newcomers, young people and families in their own suburb, and you can follow their updates on Tap4Change after you give.
