The Zakat Foundation of America (ZFA) is a U.S.-based, faith-inspired humanitarian organization committed to the service of those in need, regardless of race, religion, or nationality. Grounded in the Islamic principles of compassion, dignity, and social justice, ZFA has grown into a global network that addresses both immediate humanitarian crises and long-term development needs. The Foundation actively implements programs across education, health, food security, disaster relief, orphan care, and sustainable livelihoods in over 40 countries worldwide.

One of ZFA’s most significant and widely recognized humanitarian campaigns is its Qurbani (Udhiya) Project, conducted annually during the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha. Through this project, ZFA facilitates the slaughter and distribution of sacrificial animals (bulls) in accordance with Islamic guidelines, providing high-quality, fresh meat to underprivileged families who seldom have access to protein-rich food.

In this spirit, the Zakat Foundation of America is solciting applications from eligible organizations to carry out its qurbani project across Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, AJK, and the Islamabad Capital Territory.
