Subject: Thank you for your support Friend

 

Assalamu alaykum Friend


I hope you're doing well insha Allah. I'd like to express my sincerest gratitude for having trusted NZF with your Zakat & Sadaqah. Despite the concerns of COVID19, we have had tremendous support from people such as yourself and received $3.15 million in Zakat, Sadaqah, Fitr and Fidyah this Ramadan. This is about a 40% increase since last year Alhamdulillah.


Allah is the Best of Planners. As we've highlighted before, we are also seeing an increase in the number of cases due to the pandemic. In April, our cases where triple the number compared to last year. May seems slightly lower but still more than double. We expect the effects of COVID19 to last well through the next year and the hard-work continues for us. As you have put your trust in us we assure you that we will do our best to assist all those in need both in the short term as well as more sustainably in the longer term insha Allah.


I also wanted to give you some insights into what our plans are this year. As a reminder, our vision at NZF is for Islam to flourish in society as a source of prosperity and harmony for all. Our mission is to distribute Zakat in a transformative manner within Australia.

Our five key focus areas

  1. Our Team: To have an engaged, experienced and motivated team.

  2. You the Donor: To continue the education of Zakat, including; obligations, benefits, calculations and local need.

  3. The Receiver: To increase our reach of receivers and to provide an efficient, friendly and compassionate service.

  4. Programs: To support or implement programs that are effective and beneficial for the welfare of the overall community. 

  5. Sustainability: To establish mechanisms to ensure the on-going operational sustainability. 

 

As we mature as an organisation, we are now expanding beyond just providing emergency relief into establishing or supporting existing programs that encompass the overall well-being of our community.

In the past, we have been running programs such as Qurban, Quran Schools, Back to School Support, Crisis Accommodation, etc. which we are continuing to grow.
