The scale of Zakat giving on LaunchGood
Over the past two full Hijri years, 42,357 campaigns have been Zakat-verified on LaunchGood, spanning 118 countries, raising a combined $171.8 million. That's not a marketing number, it's what's actually moved through the platform, campaign by campaign.
Every one of those campaigns went through individual review by LaunchGood's Zakat team, checked against a policy compiled by Shaykh Omar Baig and reviewed by four named scholars, one from each major school of Islamic law: Mufti Wahajuddin (Hanafi), Shaykh Ma'an Dabbaagh (Maliki), Shaykh Ibrahim Khidr (Shafi'i), and Shaykh Abdullah Ashraf (Hanbali).

A dedicated Zakat calculator, not a generic one
Rather than estimating your Zakat by hand, LaunchGood's Zakat calculator walks through every zakatable asset category individually: cash, gold and silver (by weight or cash value), investments, money owed to you, and business merchandise, then deducts what you currently owe before giving you your exact amount. It shows the live Nisab threshold up front, in your choice of nine currencies, so you're never working from outdated figures. We've written a full walkthrough of how the calculation works if you want the details.
A Zakat tracker to keep your giving on record
Zakat is an annual obligation, and getting the timing right matters as much as getting the amount right. LaunchGood's calculator lets you save your progress and revisit your calculation later, so you can track your Zakat giving year over year rather than starting from scratch every time your Zakat due date comes around. If you're not sure whether this year is even the year you owe it, we've broken that down separately in our Zakat obligation checklist.
Finding a trusted campaign once you know your amount
Once you've calculated your amount, LaunchGood lets you give directly to a Zakat-Verified campaign, no separate search required. Every verified campaign carries the badge only after individual review, and you can filter by cause and region to find a campaign in exactly the category you want to support. For the full breakdown of what actually qualifies, see our guide on who can receive Zakat.
Tax relief on your Zakat giving
Depending on your country and the receiving campaign, your Zakat donation may also qualify for tax relief, such as Gift Aid in the UK or a tax-deductible receipt where applicable. Availability varies by campaign and jurisdiction, so check the specific campaign page for details before donating if this matters for your giving.
