Rolling, no deadlines · unsolicited applications welcome

Key takeaways

Its stated themes are women's empowerment, poverty relief, refugee support, orphan support, family support and disaster relief, so a request should clearly fit one of them.
Its annual report gives no grants figure that can be read and no grant range is stated, so no typical request size can be given, and a modest, well-costed request is the safest starting point.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and individual help through Zakat goes via the Zakat Committee, which applicants are directed to by following the zakat procedure; Zakat assistance focuses mainly on people with dire and genuine need for financial help and requires proof of identification.
Charities that are not registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales are excluded from Zakat support, so an unregistered group should not apply through that route.
