Why Support Us?

A waqf you establish today keeps generating impact long after a one-off donation would have run out.

Everlasting charity

Everlasting charity that transforms lives

International Waqf Fund focuses on reviving the prophetic tradition of donating a Waqf, providing a more sustainable and everlasting way of giving.

We are clear in our objectives and take great responsibility for every penny entrusted to us. We intentionally invest in developing rigorous accountability and governance systems, maximising the benefit we are able to deliver through the contributions of our donors.

Islamic ethos

Faith-inspired work, rooted in responsibility.

Our work is faith-inspired, including our vision, mission and values.

We are actively developing distinctive approaches to the key issues facing our world in the context of the Islamic faith, which recognises that people with wealth have a duty to those who are less fortunate, as defined in the Qur'an and the Sunnah.

Experience and expertise

Two decades of learning, delivery and trusted partnerships.

International Waqf Fund, previously known as Islamic Relief Waqf, has supported some of the world's most vulnerable people through returns on investments for more than 20 years.

In that time, we have developed a wide range of skills and expertise. Our reputation and credibility mean we can work with influential bodies and institutions that share our humanitarian goals, pooling resources to deliver help where it is most needed.

Close to communities

Close enough to understand, large enough to respond.

Being part of one of the biggest Islamic charities means our size and scale help us make the most of funding and achieve meaningful impact.

With a presence in over 40 countries, we have a deep understanding of the causes of poverty and suffering in many different communities. We work to help people develop themselves, their families and their communities, bringing prosperity and helping end the cycle of poverty.

Your support keeps giving.

A Waqf contribution is designed to continue generating benefit year after year, carrying your impact beyond a single moment of giving.
