Ask us a question we haven't answered Explore programmes

Is ABM Foundation registered?

We are not yet able to publish confirmed legal registration details on this site. We will update this answer the moment documentation is confirmed.

Can I donate online yet?

Not yet. This site does not currently process online donations. Contact us to discuss what's possible today, or join our update list to be notified the moment online giving launches.

Is my Zakat eligible if I give to ABM Foundation?

We have not yet obtained a scholarly ruling confirming Zakat eligibility. See our full Zakat & Sadaqah Guide for details.

How do you choose which projects to fund?

Through documented field assessment against a real, dated need — see our How We Work page for the full four-stage process.

What percentage of my donation goes to overhead?

We do not yet have an independently verified overhead figure to publish. Earlier marketing material stated a specific number; we're not repeating it until it's confirmed.

How do I volunteer?

Visit our Volunteer Opportunities page and submit an application — field, event, and student ambassador roles are all open.
