How It Works
Simple, transparent, and no platform fee, the rest set aside after the card fee.
Choose a Cause or Charity
Browse by cause (Palestine, Relief, Education) to support all charities in that category, or select a specific charity you trust.
Enter Your Amount
See the full breakdown before you pay. We show exactly what's set aside for charity and any optional fees you choose to cover.
Complete your gift
Pay by card through Stripe. Receive an instant receipt. After the card fee, the rest of your donation is set aside for your chosen charity.
Transparent Fee Breakdown
Here's exactly how your $100 donation is handled:
Option A: Standard
Option B: Cover Fees
Either way, after the card fee, the rest of your donation is set aside for the charity. We take 0%. For masjids this is a standing commitment: masjid giving is 100% pass-through - no cut, zakat or sadaqah, ever.
Cause-Based Giving
When you donate to a cause (like "Palestine" or "Education"), your donation is set aside, split equally, for the charities working on that cause, and paid out once each charity's payout details are checked.

Questions About Fundraising
Can I start my own fundraiser on UmmahCauses?
No, we don't host personal fundraisers. We curate the causes on this platform and vet every charity ourselves.
If you want to run your own fundraising campaign, platforms like LaunchGood are built for that.
If you want us to add a cause we're missing,
