The answer is just 3p in every £1 is spent on admin (support and governance), to make sure the charity is run well. We don’t use your Zakat for this.
Overall, of every £1 NZF spends, we spend 89p on charitable activity.
Of the other 11p, 3p is on support and governance and 8p goes towards raising more funds. We cover all these costs from donations earmarked for that purpose: Sadaqah, Gift Aid and Riba.
At National Zakat Foundation we work hard to make sure your donation is used wisely. We know we’re accountable to you – as well as to the recipients of your Zakat and most importantly, to Allah (swt) – so that’s why we let you know when your own Zakat reaches recipients in need. Also, scholars auditourZakat distribution to give you extra peace of mind.
