Our Mission
Our mission is to provide global humanitarian aid, relief and development with sincerity and compassion whilst saving lives, alleviating poverty, transforming and empowering local communities to ensure well-being and protection of the poor, needy and vulnerable.
While some work their way towards being different, our dedicated volunteers and devoted donors strive towards making a difference.
We are extremely grateful for the incredible generosity of our supporters and volunteers who share our mission. I would personally like to thank you all for the passion, ideas and positive energy that you bring.
At a time of rising poverty at home and abroad, deepening inequality, and worsening climate change, your support has enabled As-Salaam Humanitarian Foundation to stand with those facing poverty and deliver life-saving and life-changing work that has reached hundreds of thousands of people around the world.
What’s more, we have been able to maintain our 100% donation policy with no one getting a wage or salary and all expenses contributing towards administration.
Thank you for being so selfless with us and for so many in whose lives you make a tangible difference.

Together, we work to provide essential aid and support, from emergency relief to long-term development programs.
Where we work
Our Donation Policy
Every penny donated is given directly to those in need.
We Operate A Strict 100% Donation Policy
Our 100% donation policy means every single penny donated is used strictly for charitable efforts. Donations go into ‘charity-only’ bank accounts from which nothing is removed, not even for fundraising or administration costs. Like any organisation, As-Salaam Humanitarian Foundation does have administration costs and overheads to meet, which in turn helps our charity function. Funds are needed to compensate for our web presence, pay bills, cover accounting and legal costs, fundraise and support project costs. This is used from our ‘administration-only’ account where funds are raised through Gift Aid. None of our trustees or volunteers take a wage or salary.
What Is Gift Aid?
So how do we cover these costs? The charity runs a separate ‘administration-only’ bank account. This account has its own sources of funding which includes claiming Gift Aid at 25% and donors specifically donating for administration purposes. For example, we are able to claim £25 on a £100 donation, if it’s Gift Aid eligible. If you are a taxpayer then you can too help us maintain these costs by allowing us to claim Gift Aid on your donations – this has no impact on you whatsoever!
What Makes Our Donation Policy Different?
With some projects, surplus money is raised. Rather than spending for the sake of spending, any surpluses at the end of our financial period, including unused Gift Aid goes back into the ‘charity-only’ bank accounts, ensuring that our beneficiaries are further supported. Every penny donated is accounted for and shared transparently with our donors in our annual reports.
What is our Zakat Policy?
We take Zakat extremely sensitively and hold it with high importance. We’re committed to collecting and distributing Zakat in accordance with Sharia, and in an honest and ethical manner. We believe this is paramount to fulfilling our organisational values, therefore, we have enlisted the expertise of some of the leading and most respected Islamic scholars to form an independent Advisory Board. Zakat is spent within the year and never accumulated.
