Causes

Supporting Our Community. Serving Our Ummah.

We believe that communal strength begins with true compassion for each other. Through your generosity, the New Zealand Zakat Foundation provides essential support for those facing hardship — locally and internationally — helping every member of our Ummah live with dignity and purpose.

Debt Relief

For those trapped in unavoidable debt, we provide Shariah-compliant assistance that helps restore balance. Your contribution helps struggling families regain control and move forward free from financial hardship.

Scholarships

Education empowers individuals and uplifts communities. Your support assists students who show promise but lack means to continue their studies — helping them build better futures and contribute to the Muslim community.

Convert Care

Embracing Islam can bring isolation and financial struggle. You can help support new Muslims with financial aid, mentorship, and community connection — ensuring they are welcomed, supported, and able to thrive.

Domestic Violence Survivors

For those escaping violence, safety can't wait. Your support provide emergency housing, essentials, and support — helping survivors rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

Single Parents

Single parents carry immense responsibility, raising children and managing homes while keeping bills paid. Your contribution helps fund essential costs, helping ease their burden during challenging times.

Extending Our Care Beyond New Zealand

While our priority is to strengthen the Muslim community here at home, we know the concern of New Zealand Muslims extends far beyond our borders.
In partnership with MAA International — one of Australia’s oldest and most trusted Muslim charities — we now facilitate international aid and emergency relief on your behalf.
Through this collaboration, you can give with confidence, knowing your Sadaqah and Zakat reach those in greatest need around the world, managed with integrity and compassion.
