Ongoing Sadaqah Fund - Support the Work Behind Our Appeals

Behind our appeals are people doing the work needed to run One Ummah responsibly. Keeping financial records, meeting regulatory requirements and managing the organisation are part of that responsibility. Giving towards this work helps support the charity you have chosen to trust with your Sadaqah. 

You may have volunteered for a collection, helped organise a fundraiser or spoken to a charity about your donation. If so, you will know that serving people involves preparation and follow-through as well as the moment a gift is given. Someone has to keep doing that work after the fundraiser ends. 

The Ongoing Sadaqah Fund gives you a way to help with those continuing responsibilities. It supports the organisation behind the programmes, so that core costs can be funded separately from donations intended for a particular appeal. 

Understanding Our 100% Donation Policy

Our donation policy, updated on 1 July 2026, Ongoing Sadaqah Fund explains how we separate project and core funds. Project donations cover delivery, which can include transport, field teams and monitoring. The policy applies to the amount received after external payment or banking fees. 

Alongside gifts to this fund, Gift Aid and other unrestricted income help pay for our core operations. These sources support the organisation as a whole and are accounted for separately from project funds. 

When you choose the Ongoing Sadaqah Fund, you are deliberately supporting the charity’s running costs. Understanding that purpose helps you decide how it fits alongside any donations you make to food, water or other appeals

Give An Amount You Can Keep Giving 

The Prophet ﷺ taught us to value consistency. In the Hadeeth recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari 6465, he described regular deeds as most beloved to Allah, even when they are few, and advised people to undertake deeds within their ability. 

It is a reminder to give regularly within what you can manage. Choose a monthly amount that you can manage alongside your responsibilities at home. You should be able to understand the commitment and consider it properly, whether you are starting regular Sadaqah for the first time or reviewing what you already give. 

Our Ongoing Sadaqah Fund has monthly options of £5, £15 and £30. A £5 gift offers a way to begin with a modest amount. A larger contribution is welcome if it suits your circumstances; there is no need to stretch beyond what you can afford to take part. 

If you gave £5 each month for a year, your gifts would total £60. Thinking about the yearly amount, as well as the monthly payment, can help you choose a commitment that fits your budget. 

For some donors, giving begins with a particular emergency or a family’s need. Your concern may lead you to a food appeal, an orphan sponsorship or a water project. Supporting the organisation that carries out this work is another decision you can make as part of your giving. 

The Ongoing Sadaqah Fund is for that purpose. You can support core operations alongside a project you care about, with a clear understanding that the donations have different uses. Keeping those intentions clear is part of treating your gift as an Amanah. 

Perhaps you first got involved with One Ummah through a collection at your Masjid, a family fundraiser or an appeal shared by a friend. If you have stayed with us since then, this fund offers a way to support the organisation itself as well as the individual causes that first moved you to give. You do not have to wait for a new emergency to contribute to its running costs. 

Give seeking Allah’s pleasure and make Du’a for those receiving aid, the people delivering it and everyone helping the charity fulfil its responsibilities. We ask Allah to accept your Sadaqah and place barakah in it. 

Choose the monthly option and select an amount you are comfortable giving. Take a moment to check the frequency and amount before confirming your donation, especially if you are choosing between a one-off gift and regular support. The page offers both options. 

If you want to understand the fund better before giving, please ask. You can contact One Ummah at info@oneummah.org.uk or call 0300 111 3111. Asking where your money goes is a reasonable part of choosing a charity, and you deserve a clear explanation. 

Sharing the purpose of the fund can help others understand it too. When someone asks how a 100% donation policy works, point them to the policy and explain why separate support for core costs is needed. 

Your support helps fund the day-to-day work of running One Ummah. If you can give regularly, join the Ongoing Sadaqah Fund from £5 a month and help us continue serving the Ummah, InshaAllah.
