Our experience supporting Islamic charities across the UK has shown that early preparation is key to a successful fundraising campaign.
Having a Ramadan Checklist in place gives your charity a roadmap for success. This checklist not only helps you stay organised but also ensures that every step of your Ramadan campaign is covered. From setting clear charity goals to engaging donors, every detail counts.
