CharityWatch wishes you and yours a very happy Ramadan. This year Ramadan is observed beginning on the evening of Tuesday, February 17th and ending at sundown on Thursday, March 19th, 2026. During this time observant Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, pray, and reflect. Many Muslims also give Zakat, a form of almsgiving, by donating a portion of their wealth to charity.
Please consider making a donation to one of the following Top-Rated organizations:
American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA) works to address the development and humanitarian needs of Palestinians and other communities in the Middle East.
Muslim Aid USA works to provide help to people who are victims of natural disasters or conflicts, or who are suffering from poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, discrimination, homelessness, debt, unemployment, injustice, or lack of skills or economic opportunity.
Zakat Foundation of America works to foster charitable giving to alleviate the immediate needs of poor communities and to establish long-term development projects that ensure individual and community growth.
