About
Help that stops when the donation stops is not enough on its own. UMMA Farm exists to grow food and jobs at the same time, so that a community feeding itself does not depend on the next appeal.
The farm grows produce that goes into UMMA kitchens and food distributions, plants trees, and trains people in the work of running it. The people it employs come from the communities it feeds.
Your donation pays for seed, tools, irrigation, and wages. Donating here is slower to show a result than an emergency appeal and it lasts a great deal longer. Both are needed.
Egypt
What Is Happening
Thousands of Palestinian families have crossed from Gaza into Egypt, and some are living in El-Arish, right by the border. Crossing into Gaza is extremely difficult, so the families already in Egypt are the ones help can reach today.
What UMMA Is Doing
UMMA Farm grows olives and alfalfa on land UMMA owns, and the harvest is sold to pay for relief. It also raised 3,000 ducks for Palestinian families in El-Arish. Your donation pays for the farm and for the last stretch of road to the border.
Common Questions
Is my donation secure?
Card details go to Stripe and never reach our servers. We see the amount, the campaign and the receipt address, nothing else.
Are my donations tax deductible?
Yes, to the extent allowed by law. You receive a receipt for every donation, and all of them are in My Donations, in the UMMA app or your dashboard on the web.
Can I give my Zakat to UMMA?
Yes, and only to campaigns marked Zakat eligible. Zakat is restricted to the categories in Surah At Tawbah (9:60), so UMMA will not let it be applied anywhere else. If no eligible campaign is open, we say so rather than route it elsewhere.
How do you decide where donations go?
Donations go to the campaign you choose, and that campaign shows its own progress. If you donate without choosing one, funds go where the need is greatest at that moment.
Can I cancel a recurring donation?
Yes, at any time, in My Donations in the UMMA app or on the web. No email and no phone call. Gave without an account? The link in your receipt email cancels it.
Something went wrong with my donation. Who do I tell?
Email hello@ummafoundation.org with the receipt number and a person replies. Refunds follow the refund policy on this site.
What happens if this campaign does not reach its goal?
The work carries on with what was raised. Donations are not held back waiting for a total and they are not moved to another campaign: they go to this one, and the progress bar shows exactly where it stands.
What happens if it raises more than its goal?
It keeps accepting donations and the extra goes to the same work. A goal is what we planned for, not a cap on the need, and a campaign that has passed its goal is still the campaign you chose.
