On Monday 1st of April MuslimGiving welcomed hundreds of charities at the X+Why building based in Whitechapel, London.
Charities attended the 1 Year On event from across the country to see first hand how MuslimGiving is keeping up to its promises by helping Muslim charities secure vital funds by providing a bespoke online donation platform for the charities, fundraisers and donors.
Sadiqur Rahman, Chair of MuslimGiving said: “Charity is worship for us, it is a religious duty and it plays a major part in our lives. We will go the extra mile to support our registered charities. We are passionate about MuslimGiving and strongly believe in what it can do to empower the Muslim community”.
Ebadur Rahman, Managing Director of MuslimGiving said “It is important to engage the sector at every level and provide a forum for charities and professionals to meet, network and learn”.
The event included key distinguished guests including Rahim Jung, Fundraiser and Presenter, Harun Khan, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, Nick Greenwood, Policy Development for the Fundraising Regulator and Mohamed Ali Harrath, Founder and CEO of Islam Channel.
Harun Khan, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain said “We need to build the capacity of Muslim charities so that they continue giving. Muslims are the most generous”.
Nick Greenwood, Policy Development Officer for the Fundraising Regulator said “Charities do really important work, helping those in the greatest need. MuslimGiving is committed to high standards of fundraising and understands the importance of safer giving and online donations”.
Mohamed Ali Harrath, Founder and CEO of Islam Channel said “Giving charity is our faith.
MuslimGiving unites Muslim charities under one umbrella and together we are a force for good”. It was an amazing and inspirational evening where charities praised MuslimGiving for their support, advice and the great philanthropy they have shown in times of adversity and emergencies, where MuslimGiving waived fees as a way of their contribution. Charities in the room commended MuslimGiving for being leaders in the sector and paving the way to make life easy for charities, fundraisers and donors and being a user friendly donation platform.
