Our 100% Donation Commitment

We operate a strict 100% donation policy.

This means that 100% of all donations made through Ramadhan.org.uk are distributed in full to eligible beneficiaries and charitable purposes.

No portion of any donation is used for administration, salaries, marketing, platform costs, or payment processing fees.

Administrative and Platform Costs

All administrative and operational costs, including payment processing fees such as Stripe, are fully covered by Eportfolios Ltd.

Donations received through the Platform are never used to cover these costs.

Zakat Distribution

All Zakat donations are distributed strictly in accordance with the eight categories (asnaf) defined in the Qur’an.

Zakat funds are:

  • Kept separate from other types of donations
  • Distributed only to eligible recipients
  • Allocated with care, verification, and dignity

Zakat is distributed primarily in Pakistan, where there are large numbers of destitute and hungry individuals, and also within the United Kingdom where there is a genuine and pressing need.

Restricted Donations and Donor Intent

We strictly honour donor intent.

Where a donation is made for a specific purpose, appeal, or category, it is used only for that stated purpose.

Restricted donations are not redirected, reallocated, or repurposed under any circumstances. Restricted means restricted.

Fitrana (Zakat al-Fitr)

Fitrana donations are distributed to the poor and needy so that they may meet their essential needs and celebrate Eid with dignity.

Fitrana is distributed within the required timeframe and in accordance with established Islamic guidance.

Kaffarah and Fidyah

Kaffarah and Fidyah payments are used to feed the poor on behalf of the donor.

Funds are allocated to provide meals to those in need, fulfilling the obligation in the manner prescribed by Islamic law.

Areas of Distribution

We prioritise areas of genuine hardship and need, including:

  • Pakistan, where poverty and food insecurity are widespread
  • The United Kingdom, where urgent and deserving cases arise

Distribution decisions are based on need, eligibility, and responsibility.

Transparency and Trust

We treat every donation as an amanah (trust).

To uphold this trust:

  • Donations are tracked and accounted for
  • Funds are distributed responsibly
  • Islamic principles guide every stage of the process
  • We operate with honesty, clarity, and accountability

We may update this Donation Policy from time to time.

Any changes will be posted on this page, and the “Last updated” date at the top of this policy will be revised accordingly.

You are advised to review this policy periodically for any changes.
