About Zakat Fund of NYC

The Zakat Fund of NYC is 501(c)(3) non-profit facilitating the local distribution of Zakat funds in the New York City metro area— Zakat distribution by our community, for our community. Zakat, or equitable wealth redistribution, is a central pillar of Islam that encourages equity, human dignity, and community building through giving. Utilizing community donations, the Zakat Fund of NYC provides unrestricted cash grants to community members in need. Unrestricted access to cash in times of need can be critical in breaking cycles of poverty. Since the Zakat Fund of NYC was established in 2016, we have facilitated support for thousands of vulnerable individuals and families facing challenges such as domestic violence, housing insecurity, managing disabilities, and burdens of medical debt. Apart from Zakat distribution, the Zakat Fund works with partner organizations supporting the underserved, to help address community needs. We continue to grow opportunities to honor the Muslim tradition of addressing poverty and wealth inequity through generosity and humanity in giving.
