Celebrating Ramadan with Tree of Hope

Ramadan Fundraising with Tree of Hope: Support Families in Need

Ramadan is a special time of reflection, devotion, and giving—a perfect opportunity for families to engage their support networks and work towards their fundraising goals for their child or young person's medical treatment, therapy, or equipment needs.

For many families, Ramadan is about more than fasting; it’s a time for togetherness, gratitude, and supporting those in need. Strengthen bonds, create lasting memories, and make a meaningful impact by fundraising for a child in need.

How to Fundraise During Ramadan

Give Zakat to Support a Child’s Fundraising Campaign

One of the five pillars of Islam, Zakat means ‘giving to charity’ and is a great way to boost your fundraising efforts. Encourage your religious community to support your Tree of Hope campaign as their chosen charity throughout the year. To make donating even easier, include a Zakat calculator on your fundraising page—this may help increase contributions this Ramadan.

Host a Fundraising Iftar

Break your fast with a fundraising Iftar, either on a selected day during Ramadan or to celebrate Eid. Prepare delicious stews, rice dishes, salads, and sweet pastries—nutrient-rich foods to help replenish energy after fasting. Invite guests to bring their own dishes to keep costs low, while kindly requesting a donation to your child’s campaign at the start or end of the evening as a gesture of appreciation.

Eid Bake Sale

Celebrate Eid-al-Fitr on 30th March with a bake sale—because who can resist freshly baked treats after a month of fasting? Host your bake sale at work, at your child’s school or after-school club, or even at your place of worship. Encourage friends and family to contribute their own baked goods and donate the proceeds to your campaign.

Social Media Fundraising

Maximise your reach by launching a social media campaign in the days leading up to Eid. Raise awareness and encourage donations by sharing your child’s fundraiser with your network. Use a unique hashtag and ask supporters to share their contributions online to inspire others to give.
