About Us
A student-led act of service
We are the University of Michigan Zakat Foundation students carrying zakat and sadaqah into action, one initiative at a time.
Mission
Turn intention into impact
To channel the zakat and sadaqah of the University of Michigan community into projects that meaningfully change lives, starting with clean water in the name of Imam Husayn (A).
Vision
A campus that gives, together
An enduring student institution known for transparency, service, and the spirit of Ahlula one whose reward continues long after any of us graduate.
Our Values
Why we serve
Transparency
Every dollar accounted for. Every campaign reported openly to donors.
Dignity
We serve communities as partners, not as recipients, with respect and humility.
Continuity
We favor sadaqa: gifts that keep giving long after they are made.
Why we serve
Because zakat is not charity, it is a right, owed. Because sadaqa is not extra, it is the shape a believing heart takes. Because our campus has the means, and somewhere a child is waiting for a sip of clean water.
