Why should I support an orphan through UNRWA USA?

A zakat-certified UN agency, UNRWA is the most critical lifeline for millions of Palestine refugees. UNRWA USA is the American nonprofit dedicated to supporting them. When you provide cash assistance through UNRWA USA, you ensure that orphans get the services they need to overcome the traumas of war and blockade, the dignity of proper education, and the gift of a brighter future.

Is my gift zakat-eligible?

The National Zakat Foundation Worldwide, Al-Azhar, and the Jerusalem Islamic Council have certified UNRWA’s food and cash assistance programs as zakat-eligible.

Is my gift tax-deductible?

UNRWA USA National Committee is a 501c3 tax-exempt organization and your donation is tax-deductible within the guidelines of US law. To claim a donation as a deduction on your US taxes, please keep your email donation receipt as your official record. We'll send it to you upon successful completion of your donation.
