About National Zakat Foundation

Overview

The National Zakat Foundation aims to relieve poverty in the Muslim Canadian community by providing basic amenities such as food vouchers, clothing, and financial assistance to those in need. Additionally, the foundation establishes and operates transitional houses for women and children who are homeless, poor, or victims of domestic abuse, along with providing counseling and outreach programs. They also focus on educating and increasing awareness within the Muslim Canadian community about Zakat charitable giving associated with the Islamic faith, offering seminars, workshops, and online educational resources to facilitate accurate calculation of Zakat donations and increase awareness of available charitable and social assistance.

Mission

To uplift those around us by fostering a culture of giving and support, ensuring every local voice is heard and valued. Our mission is to make the pillar of Zakat simple, transparent, and impactful across Canada.

Vision

Our values stand as our guiding principles and are at the core of everything we do. We take the responsibility of managing your Zakat seriously and ensure that both payers and recipients of Zakat are treated fairly.

Unique Value Proposition

As one of the only Muslim charities that independently oversee the entire Zakat process - from collection to distribution - you can trust us to handle your Zakat with precision and integrity. We provide a holistic approach to Zakat that ensures your giving makes a powerful, measurable impact across Canada with 100% local distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started

WellFunded eliminates the inefficiencies, inequities and ineffectiveness of traditional fundraising by centralizing and standardizing the process. Instead of spending time on endless grant applications, you create a single, detailed profile that philanthropists and foundations can easily discover and fund. Our other tools like our centralized due diligence tool and "2 click grants" (coming soon) build off of this core concept: that we can make things radically better by centralizing them on one common platform.

Philanthropists can browse charity profiles, see your funding needs, and express interest directly—saving you countless hours. We are soon rolling out a "two click granting" tool where donors can set their granting preferences and if your charity matches their preferences, you will automatically be notified in your dashboard, and can send your portrait onward right through to their WellFunded dashboard. Sort of like applying to a job through LinkedIn Easy Apply.

WellFunded charges philanthropists presently. For charities, WellFunded offers a free tier, with plans for affordable paid options that provide enhanced visibility and engagement tools. However, we will always have a free tier. We will introduce pricing once enough active donors use the platform to influence giving.

Instead of relying on cold proposals or personal networks, WellFunded helps you get in front of philanthropists actively looking to give in your area of impact. With advanced search tools and standardized due diligence, your work speaks for itself—helping you build trust and attract new donors.

Charity profiles include leadership information, financial data, and clear funding needs. Philanthropists can also see impact reports and follow the giving activity of other donors, creating a more open and transparent ecosystem.

Yes. WellFunded prioritizes data security and does not sell or share your private information outside the platform.
