You’re here because you care.
HEART was founded almost 15 years ago to ensure that Muslims across the country have the resources, support, and freedom to nurture sexual health and uproot gender-based violence. Over the years, we’ve reached thousands of participants through workshops and trainings (even more through digital media and “The Sex Talk: A Muslim’s Guide to Healthy Sex and Relationships”), distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars in mutual aid for directly impacted Muslims, and created a vital space for Muslims on the margins to gather, heal, and grow.
This work doesn’t happen without you.
Your donation helps ensure HEART can continue holding space for marginalized Muslims, showing compassionate care for survivors with a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach, and breaking the silence on reproductive justice.
Here to fulfill your zakat? Simply designate your gift on the form or write “zakat” in the comment section. All Zakat donations are directly routed to HEART’s community care funds – pools of funding reserved solely for survivors of violence, people impacted by reproductive oppression, or people affected by ongoing conflicts and atrocities in the Global South.
To learn more about how Zakat funding is used, you can find our Zakat policy here!
