As governments and communities worldwide mobilize to help earthquake-stricken Haiti, Muslims in the United States are doing their part by raising funds and partnering with organizations — both religious and secular — to aid earthquake victims.

This spirit of cooperation in Haitis greatest time of need is highlighted by Islamic Relief USAs ongoing interfaith aid partnership with the Mormon Church.

We are partnering with the Mormon Church on shipments of aid including hygiene kits and temporary shelters, Naeem Muhammad of Islamic Relief USA told America.gov of relief slated for Haiti. We do a lot of partnerships with them, such as in Indonesia with the tsunami and in Pakistan with the earthquake.

Impoverished Haiti is familiar territory for the Zakat Foundation of America. Zakat Foundation Executive Director Khalil Demir told America.gov his organization has partnered with California-based What If? Foundation to support a meal program for Port-au-Princes children. What If? Foundations chairwoman of the board, Margaret Trost, told America.gov she is grateful for the Zakat Foundations support.

The Zakat Foundation has made it possible to feed these children in large part because of their grant to us last year, Trost said. Now, both organizations are working together to send earthquake relief to Haiti.

The Zakat Foundation aims to send two chartered cargo planes laden with supplies to Haiti. Muhammad of Islamic Relief USA said he hopes his organization will have an assessment team on the ground within days.

Fundraising for Haitian earthquake relief efforts is of utmost importance to these and other Muslim-American organizations. Islamic Relief USA launched a worldwide appeal for $1 million in aid and the Zakat Foundation pledged $50,000 in immediate assistance.

There has been a huge response from people to our request for aid. It is the same here as it would be in Muslim countries — we have been receiving donations nonstop, said the Zakat Foundations Demir.

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) has established a special Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund (HERF). We established the fund because we realize the magnitude of the devastation and feel we are morally compelled to contribute to alleviate the suffering in Haiti, said ISNA Secretary-General Safaa Zarzour in a press release.

Muslim Americans at the local level are donating earthquake aid to Haiti through ISNA and other large Muslim-American organizations. In Chicagos 400,000-strong Muslim community, fundraising efforts are under way to help Haitian earthquake victims, according to Kiran Ansari, interim executive director of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago.

We have set up a fund at the council where we will send funds to organizations like the Zakat Foundation and Islamic Relief USA, Ansari told America.gov. We have sent out a request to all the khatibs in area mosques to make the situation in Haiti part of their Friday sermon.

If you can, please help respond to this disaster with a donation. Call 0300 200 1999, visit your local shop or donate online through https://www.oxfam.org.uk/donate/haiti-earthquake/index.php

June 20 2009 we were invited to take video for YouTube of the Kelowna Yacht Club – ‘Boat for Hope Charity’ event.
The purpose of this event is to help bring a smile to the face of children with disabilities while also recognizing that siblings, parents and caregivers also need recognition and support. Organization for this event starts almost one year in advance; coordinating an event of this size with inherent difficulties is challenging but the Kelowna Yacht Club, its members, volunteers, supporting organization, charities and sponsors did a fantastic job.
Boat owners were down at the Kelowna Yacht Club as early as 6am to prepare the pirate theme of their boats. Entertainers, volunteers gave up their Saturday to make sure everything was attended to. There was a BBQ held for the families and children, hot dogs, smokies, pop and juice, fruit and ice cream and everything was donated by very generous sponsors all FREE. Musical performances, comedy, games – It was FANTASTIC. – THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO DO THINGS RIGHT! ARRRR to the Kelowna Yacht Club and Sponsors and Volunteers of this amazing event!

Don’t believe the HYPE! Here are some ways to find out the validity of the charitable organization that you are looking to support. Just because a celebrity says that they have an organization does NOT automatically mean that the information is factual. Please use caution when donating. There are many well established groups that are in need of not only monetary donations but volunteers, so do not become dissuaded by the SCAM ARTISTS that exist.
Don’t let pretty faces, sob stories, or guilt trips fool you. Get the facts and lend a hand (or a dollar or two).

Don’t fall for the HYPE! Just because a celebrity or a person of recognition claims to have or be a part of a charitable organization does NOT mean you should give your money to them. These are the steps that EVERYONE has to go through in order to list their group as a charitable organization.
There are many, MANY people in need and many, MANY causes that need help raising awareness. Don’t fall for the scammers who are out for your hard earned dollars!
