Our Fundraising Guide
The believer’s shadow on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity.
Tirmidhi, Hadith 604
Why Fundraising Guide Is Important ?
Fundraising with Salam Charity is not just about collecting money—it’s about answering the duas of the poor. Your pound can give food, shelter, and hope to a person living in poverty.
Think of it this way – they make dua to Allah to provide them with food, with relief. Allah is answering their duas with your donations. We are the vessel for His Mercy. What greater honour can we ask for? Amazing, subhan’Allah.

Overseas Deployment
Register to volunteer abroad with us, raise funds, hand deliver aid, sit with the beneficiaries, break bread together, hear their stories, share their pain and instill hope.
Idea 2
Mosque Crawl
Create a route to tour all mosques either in your area or your city. Gather your mates, think of a theme, grab some collection buckets, charity t-shirts and enjoy talking to local worshippers about wha
Idea 3
Donate A Day
Use your local connections to make a difference. Ask nearby businesses to ‘Donate a Day’ by giving part of their sales — every contribution adds up. Just share our donation link and watch the impact grow.
Idea 4
Your Very Own Bake-Off
Turn your baking skills into impact! Host a cake sale or auction to raise funds for the causes you care about — every bite makes a difference.
Idea 5
Digital Auction
Sell any unwanted items! Be creative and engage bidders using eBay, Facebook or Insta! Speak to friends and businesses to donate items or services you can sell.
Idea 6
Sell A Skill
Arrange anything from a cooking lesson to fitness classes, a baking workshop to a tuition evening. If you’re an artist, perhaps a henna or calligraphy session? Tap into your creative-streak, turn it into a course and charge people for attending at a discounted rate.
Idea 7
Car Wash
Everyone loves a clean car and it’s so much better when the money is going to charity. You can speak to your local carwash or gain consent from a place with lots of cars – large supermarkets are a good option (brothers-only)

Challenge Yourself
Take part in any of our national or international challenges! Think bike rides, skydives, marathons and mountain treks

Movie Night
Whether you hold this in a conference room or in your own home, it’s sure to be a success! Get people to pay what they normally would at the cinema.

30 Chapters/30 Hours
Aim to complete the Qur’an in 30 hours or less as a sponsored challenge.
