Zakat Application
Life can be unpredictable, and financial hardship can affect anyone. Whether you’re struggling to pay rent, put food on the table, or cover essential expenses, you’re not alone. At the Penny Appeal Canada, we believe that every Muslim in our community deserves the support they need to live with dignity.
Zakat is more than just charity—it’s a right that belongs to those in need. If you or someone you know is eligible for Zakat assistance, we are here to ensure that this vital support reaches you when you need it most.
How to Apply for Zakat Assistance:
1. Complete the Application Form: Fill out the application form thoroughly and submit all required documentation.
2. Caseworker Assignment: After submission, a dedicated caseworker will assess your eligibility for Zakat assistance. This will include providing your photo identification, itemized bank statements, lease or rental agreement, pay slips and utility bills.
3. Review and Approval: Your application will be reviewed and, upon approval, you will receive support via mail or online within 2 weeks of submission.
Types of Support Available:
Eligible applicants can receive assistance for:
- Food: Access to nutritious food to alleviate hunger.
- Rental Assistance: Financial aid to help cover housing costs and prevent eviction.
- Essentials: Support for necessary healthcare and basic needs to ensure overall well-being.
Note: Penny Appeal Canada does not provide cash or bank deposits to the applicant. Instead we will make payments directly to the applicant’s creditors and/or make arrangements with supermarkets in the case of food.
