Zakat eligibility info
How does Feeling Blessed verify the authenticity of nonprofits?
Feeling Blessed collaborates exclusively with registered and verified nonprofit organizations. Each nonprofit undergoes a thorough vetting process to ensure compliance with legal standards and recognition by relevant authorities, such as the IRS for U.S.-based nonprofits. While the app does not monitor how donations are utilized after being transferred, it guarantees that all listed organizations meet established criteria for legitimacy and trustworthiness. Additionally, the EIN (USA) or Charity registration number (UK) is provided in the organization descriptions for donor reference.
What does Feeling Blessed not have control over?
While the app does not directly monitor how funds are used after donation, it ensures that all listed organizations meet established criteria for legitimacy and trustworthiness before being added to the platform.
How can I ensure my donation is used as Zakat?
Whenever you check the option for "I'm Giving Zakat", your donation is classified as Zakat and the donation purpose list changes to choose only a purpose that the charity has set to align with contributions they accept as Zakat.
Does my Zakat donation include any associated fees?
A small processing fee applies to every donation. To ensure that the full amount intended as Zakat reaches the charity, you can opt to cover this fee by adding it to your total donation. Alternatively, you may allow the fee to be deducted from your donation, which will slightly reduce the amount the nonprofit receives.
