Who Are We

Compassionate Individuals on a Mission to Change Lives

At National Zakat Foundation Canada, we believe in the transformative power of local Zakat. We focus on charity that helps our neighbors and those closest to home.  Vulnerable communities right here in Canada often face a significant shortfall despite government assistance, with 1 in 10 Canadians currently living in poverty.


That’s where NZF Canada steps in. With your support, we provide 100% local Zakat to the most vulnerable Muslims in our community to give them hope for a better future.

Our situation is about to get better as there is a new job I am getting ready for within the next couple of weeks. Your organization was of critical help at a very sensitive time in our lives due to the war in Palestine. Our lives are much better now and we feel we are going to be stable soon.

May Allah SWT grant you all your wishes in this world and the next for helping me in my most desperate situation. I purchased groceries which I would have had to purchase from credit card with 20% interest rate. Not only you helped me in desperate situations but prevented me from paying INTEREST. Jazakallah kheir.

A simple "thank you" or prayer for you is not enough to express my gratitude. You relieved my hardship and brought joy to my heart and my children's hearts. May Allah bring joy to your hearts, ease your affairs, and grant you goodness in this world and the Hereafter. May Allah open doors for you as you have relieved our worries, O Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. You have proven that the world is still full of goodness, and all praise is due to Allah. My son and daughter pray for your well-being and peace of mind.
