Shafaqna English- British Muslims are among the most generous donors. British Muslims give an estimated £2.2 billion (nearly $3 billion) annually to charitable causes up to four times the national average, according to new research by think tank Equi. While much of this generosity has traditionally supported international aid, there is a growing shift towards domestic giving.
“While a significant share of British Muslim charitable giving supports international humanitarian causes, there is substantial untapped potential to expand support for UK-based initiatives,” Equi noted in its report.
Young British Muslim professionals increasingly direct their donations to causes within the UK, both faith-based and secular. They are responding to visible local crises, including homelessness, food insecurity, and child poverty.
