Ramadan Giving
This is our flagship giving circle program, where members come together during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan to pool their contributions in support of impactful charities. Through this collective effort, members learn about charities from around the United States and vote on three finalists.
The three finalist charities present to our members and we hold a vote – the winning charity receives all of the pooled funding, thereby maximizing our contributions. In the past few years, our collective giving has been over $30,000.
Nominated charities must be women-led, women-run, or focus on work that impacts, uplifts, or empowers women.
