What is Follow Your Donation?
Follow Your Donation is primarily a video series, that you can watch through regular episodes throughout the year. But it is also more than that! It is blogs, reports, stories, emails and publications.
It is an entire approach to elevate your experience as a donor with Islamic Relief Canada, so that you can truly know the difference your donation makes.
Every donation we receive is more than just a transaction, it is a gift given with care and hope, as well as a means to uplift and heal.
By allowing you to follow your donation, we hope that you will see the incredible impact you have on real people all around the world.

From simple beginnings
“We started because of the need. And really there was no plan. It was simply the image. People in the hundreds of thousands, dying from famine… It moved me and my colleagues to action.
In 1984, we did not have an office. There was no boardroom, to sit down and discuss and communicate and read. We just had a small donation box on the wall. We did not have any employees, they were all volunteers… But the most important thing in these first few years, was our focus on the needs of the people.”
Dr. Hany El Banna, Founder, Islamic Relief
Islamic Relief started from simple beginnings with a £0.20 donation. Now, by the grace of God, you help us bring joy to the lives of millions.
