Step 1 of 5

Before you begin

Here is everything you will be asked for, so you can gather it first. Nothing is sent until the final step.

Please read this first

The New Zealand Zakat Foundation Policy outlines our criteria for the collection and distribution of Zakat funds, and our commitment to privacy.

If you are unsure if you are eligible for Zakat, please read the Zakat Guide section of our website. You can find our Zakat Calculator here.

Please ensure you provide all details requested to prevent delays in processing your application.
