Make a Difference in 2026
Give Zakat
Your Zakat funds some of our most crucial work, empowering families through food and nutrition supplies, shelter, education materials, agriculture supplies, and so much more.
At Islamic Relief Canada, we follow a scholar-verified Zakat Policy to ensure your Zakat reaches as many poor and needy people as possible to transform their lives. Your donation is not just a simple transaction but a means to uplift and transform!
Give Sadaqah
All around the world, there are orphans, women and elderly who continue to be devastated by the impacts of injustice, poverty, and conflict.
Your Sadaqah has the power to change lives, bring relief to entire communities and be a source of hope for all! When you give your Sadaqah, you give the gift of life to those in most need.
Sponsor an Orphan
This year, consider sponsoring an orphan and filling the gap in their lives. Our Orphan Sponsorship Program supported over 27,000 orphans this past year alone, protecting their well-being, safety, health, education, and social environments!
By committing to supporting the most vulnerable members of our global community, you remind them that they are not alone.

Development Projects
Our development projects address a number of cross-cutting issues at the same time, providing long-term sustainable and community oriented solutions. This ensures both an amplified impact and sustainable change.
We design our projects to combine multiple sectors:
Ramadan, Qurbani and Eid
Across 22 countries, we reached 277,855 individuals in 2025 with Ramadan food packs, Qurbani meat, and Eid gifts for children.
Ramadan
With your support, we distributed food packs in impoverished communities to provide relief during the blessed month of Ramadan. Food packs contained an average of 56 kg of food this year, helping families enjoy warm meals for the entire month.
Qurbani
Over 35 years, we have developed an efficient and reliable Qurbani process. This includes buying high-quality animals from local farms and on Eid, ensuring your sacrifice is done humanely, hygienically, and without waste.
Eid
Your kindness gifted smiles to orphans and vulnerable children on Eid day through new clothes, shoes, school bags and educational material, toys, and sweets.
Our Commitment to Transparency
It costs money to deliver aid and to do it well, ensuring the people who need it most receive the best possible support and ensuring that money goes to where it is needed.
Islamic Relief ensures that it gets the best value for money to help deliver aid on the ground as well as raise more funds for the people who need it the most.
Islamic Relief believes in transparency and accountability. Information on admin costs and annual financial statements are readily available here. Our financial statements are independently verified and audited. 2025 audited financial statements are scheduled to be completed in June 2026.
