Donation policy
Al-Hijrah Trust (“The Charity”) understands the importance of your donation; the responsibility and accountability it brings.
When donating via the website or via bank transfer, please indicate the charitable aim(s) you wish your donation to be applied to, we treat these donations as restricted funds. If any funds are not referenced, the trustees may use those donations for any project at their discretion.
If we collect insufficient funds to complete the charitable works for which you have donated, the trustees will use their discretion to move additional funds from general funds to complete the project.
If the charitable need for which we have collected for no longer exists or has been completed, then the trustees will use their discretion to ascertain the intention of the donors and any surplus funds would be allocated towards another appropriate similar project.
We can also collect and correctly apply donations by Islamic categories, like Fidya, Kaffarah, Zakat, which are restricted by Shariah criteria, in which the trustees will select the use based on overall considerations.
100% Donations Policy
(Excluding Gift Aid and general donations)
All donations specified for a particular project are donated to that project. Funds from general donations may be used for any of the work of the Charity.
Tax is reclaimed from your donation (where specified) from the UK government’s Gift Aid scheme. This allows taxpayers to increase the value of their donation by 25%. This additional money is allocated to general fund.
