National Zakat Foundation Incorporated
Tips for Applicants
Given that NZF primarily distributes Zakat funds rather than providing grants to external organisations, direct funding applications may not be applicable. However, organisations seeking partnership or referral relationships should demonstrate alignment with Islamic charitable principles, provide evidence of serving eligible beneficiary groups, and show capacity for proper governance and accountability. The foundation is best approached as a potential partner or referral pathway for organisation
Giving Philosophy
NZF approaches giving by collecting Zakat and Sadaqah from the Australian Muslim community and distributing it to those in need according to Islamic principles. The foundation values transparency, dignity restoration, and community support, focusing on both immediate emergency relief and long-term assistance programs. They offer a dedicated Zakat calculator tailored to the Australian context and provide giving options for various causes including Gaza Assistance, domestic violence support, youth programs, disability services, and refugee support.
