Fountain Zakat serves as a local and international platform facilitating the donation of Zakat to deserving recipients. Our rigorous vetting process ensures that only eligible individuals receive Zakat, providing you with the confidence that your funds are utilized optimally. An increasing number of Muslims are utilizing the platform both for contributing their Zakat and applying for assistance.
Founded in 2022 in response to a surge in requests for assistance through our educational programs, we have successfully aided over 200 individuals in Luton. Our support extends to those facing financial challenges amid the ongoing economic crisis, providing assistance during their difficult periods.
Approved by our Teachers
The whole process has been in line with our teachers to ensure the correct rules and processes have been applied according to the Hanafi School of thought. We continue to consult the teachers for each Zakat applicant to ensure the correct rules have been applied. We are confident that we will deliver your zakat to individuals who are 100% eligible.
Our Promise!
100% of your Zakat goes to local eligible recipients in Luton. As a registered charity the government gives a gift aid contribution on all donations made by taxpayers, we intend to use the gift aid received from Zakat donations to support our other community projects such as, Sacred Study Fund, Community Fund & the Scholar and Student fund, all being used back into the community as a continuous charity.
If there is someone locally who is in dire need then giving the money to him or her will please the Prophet ﷺ the most. Sayyidi Habib Umar bin Hafiz (may Allah protect them and benefit us by them)
Distributing Zakat locally
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet (ﷺ) sent Mu`adh to Yemen and said, “Invite the people to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and I am Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and if they obey you to do so, then teach them that Allah has enjoined on them five prayers in every day and night (in twenty-four hours), and if they obey you to do so, then teach them that Allah has made it obligatory for them to pay the Zakat from their property and it is to be taken from the wealthy among them and given to the poor.”

Being separated, I struggled to meet my bills, especially with my mortgage constantly increasing. I needed assistance to cover expenses and provide for my children.
Fountain Zakat provided monthly support for over a year, easing my financial burden significantly. With their help, I could manage bills and afford essential groceries. This aid allowed me to gradually reduce my mortgage and regain financial stability without constantly seeking assistance.
I highly recommend Fountain Zakat for their prompt and supportive assistance. Their help has been invaluable, allowing me to regain control of my finances and handle expenses without accruing debt or relying on friends.
I am deeply grateful for their ongoing support, which has empowered me to stand on my own feet again. Thank you immensely for everything.

I have been facing huge financial struggles: debt after debt after debt, way beyond my capacity to pay it off. Court case-related expenses are the worst. I saw a post in one of the WhatsApp groups; I contacted Fountain Institute. I couldn't actually register in the beginning, but somehow managed to eventually do it. The process was very, very quick, mashallah - minimum waiting time.
I didn't expect to receive funds so quickly. Financial support from Fountain Institute allows me to pay off some debts, or I can use it to see my children. I can finally afford it.
Also, Ramadan parcels and warm food will make a difference, too. I'm actually really surprised my application, has been dealt with in such a short time. I can finally start paying off some debts.
It wouldn't be possible without financial grants from Fountain Institute. Thank you so much for helping me during this painful time. May Allah reward you. Amen
