HCR Donation Policy

At Humanity Care Relief (HCR), we prioritise transparency and accountability in our financial operations to ensure that your generous contributions are utilised effectively. We have established a stringent donation policy to maximise the impact of your donations, ensuring that they reach those who need them most.

We operate under a 100% Zakat Policy, which guarantees that every penny of your Zakat donation is distributed among the eight categories specified in the Quran. This includes helping the poor, the needy, those in debt, and other eligible recipients. We take great care to ensure that these funds are not used for any administrative, marketing, or operational costs. This commitment to full transparency and adherence to Islamic principles ensures that your Zakat is used purely for its intended purpose.

Example: Zakat Donation – If you donate £10 of your Zakat to HCR, every penny of that £10 will be directed towards those eligible to receive Zakat, as per Islamic guidelines. No deductions are made for any other expenses.

For non-Zakat donations, HCR follows a 90% donation policy. This means that 90 pence of every pound donated is allocated directly to projects that support the poor and needy. The remaining 10 pence is allocated to cover essential administrative, transportation, printing, and marketing expenses. This policy allows us to maintain a high level of service, ensure the efficient delivery of aid, and continue our outreach and educational programmes.

Example: General Donation – If you donate £10 towards our water appeal, £9 will go towards providing clean water solutions, such as installing wells or water pumps, to impoverished communities. The remaining £1 will be used to cover the necessary costs associated with delivering these services, including logistics, staffing, and awareness campaigns.

The 10% allocated from general donations covers crucial operational expenses that enable HCR to function effectively and sustain its projects. These costs include:

By allocating a small percentage of funds to these essential areas, we ensure that our projects are run efficiently, reach their full potential, and that we can continue to expand our reach and impact.

We are committed to providing our donors with full transparency regarding how their contributions are used. Regular financial reports and project updates are made available to all our supporters. Additionally, our financial accounts are accessible on the Charity Commission website, where you can review how your donations are being utilised. This openness ensures that every donation is accounted for and used wisely, further building trust and allowing donors to see the real-world impact of their generosity.
