About
Hunger does not wait for an appeal to be written. The UMMA Food Fund feeds people wherever the need is sharpest that month: hot meals in Gaza and Sudan, fresh bread in Yemen and Lebanon, food parcels for families who have run out, and the Hope Bus serving hot meals on the streets of New York.
Give here and UMMA decides where your donation feeds people first. Every month we publish where the Food Fund went, so you can see the meals it became.
Giving Fidya or Kaffarah? This fund only feeds people, which makes it the simplest way to fulfil them.
Where the UMMA Food Fund Went
UMMA's pooled fund for Food. UMMA sends it to the work that needs it most, and publishes where it went.
Allocations are published every month.
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.
