LaunchGood Shares Influencer Fundraising on Their Platform
Article Reference: LaunchGood
LaunchGood the crowdfunding platform recently shared an article on influencer marketing to enhance charitable giving and support. The platform recognizes the dynamic nature of the digital space and continuously adapts to leverage these trends for the benefit of its charity and project partners. Influencer marketing has seen exponential growth, becoming a key strategy in reaching wider audiences and driving impactful fundraising campaigns. LaunchGood actively supports its partners by sharing the latest market trends and facilitating collaborations with influencers and scholars on its platform.
The platform does not apply hidden fees when you donate through the platform, ensuring direct fund transfers to the intended charity or project owner. However, external payment gateways apply a standard fee of 2.9% plus 30 cents to process your transaction. LaunchGood’s primary goal is to build trust and enhance the effectiveness of each donation.
Influencer Fundraising Process on LaunchGood
Influencers are directly hired by the charities to conduct fundraising campaigns. To ensure the legitimacy of these campaigns, all charities and projects undergo a thorough vetting and screening process before they are allowed on the platform.
This rigorous assessment guarantees that influencers can only raise funds for approved charities and causes, providing peace of mind to donors that their contributions are making a real difference. LaunchGood is committed to being a reliable and transparent fundraising platform, utilizing an ethical approach to influencer marketing.

LaunchGood Reflects on Their Ramadan Challenge: Impact on the Giving Ecosystem
Article Reference: LaunchGood
Recently LaunchGood shared an article about their giving ecosystem and it dove into some very insightful details. LaunchGood, the platform for Muslims to donate during Ramadan, began in 2013 with a daily email list for one fundraiser a day. Over 80% of donors preferred automating donations, and the platform expanded to Dhul Hijjah and Fridays, resulting in thousands of donors giving automatically year-round.
Impact of Implementing New Strategies and Testing Phases
To ensure the most deserving fundraisers, LaunchGood created leaderboards for fundraisers, one for most funds raised and another for most donors, with prizes funded by automated donations. This removed bias and made fundraising easier and more fun for charities. Leaderboards have a 6x impact on the Giving Ecosystem, as every $1 of leaderboard prizes activates $6 of donations.
Match funds offer fundraisers a match if they can raise a certain minimum, boosting smaller fundraisers that may not compete for the leaderboard. For example, Ustadh Ashir Kirk in Tennessee raised $2,000 in a few hours with a match offer. Donors can pre-select an unlimited number of causes for their donations to go to by adding fundraisers to their “Giving List.” They do not receive auto-donations themselves, use them to generate direct revenue or benefit LaunchGood, or sell donor data. LaunchGood’s Giving Ecosystem is a whole greater than sum of parts, focusing on uplifting the Ummah through its core values of “We Make Stone Soup” and its commitment to uplifting the Ummah.

Zakat Foundation of America – Orphan Support
Article Reference: Zakat Foundation of America
Zakat Foundation of America(ZFA) makes an impact through multiple programs, one significant program is their Orphan Support Program. Recently they shared their new approach to supporting orphans, as the Zakat Foundation of America stated below:
“What If We Choose With Love?
“We at Zakat Foundation have committed to stop using pictures for orphan selection – we’re making a change. We choose to love unconditionally. We choose to lead with love—no more browsing for children. Watch our mini film.” – Zakat Foundation of America
But how does that exactly work?
ZFA partners with field representatives in 15 countries to select orphans for a rigorous vetting process, ensuring their basic needs are met and they thrive. Sponsors can choose based on country, age, and gender, but “where most needed” is preferred. Gifts cover essential needs like nutritious food, school attendance, and hygiene, and can be made for less than $2/day online.
Zakat Foundation of America is ready to assist you with all your questions about their Orphan Support Program
On their official website, Zakat Foundation of America has answered all your questions related to their orphan support program.
Zakat Foundation of America considers any child without a parent or vulnerable with incapacitated or missing parents to be an orphan. Sponsorship offers holistic care for a child living abroad, covering essential needs like nutritious food, schooling, and hygiene. Sponsors can sponsor a child for less than $2/day in need online and can choose from $50 a month or $600 a year. 100% of the sponsorship goes directly to the orphan, and the Zakat Foundation of America will never use your donation for administration or operational use.
Sponsors can select an orphan by selecting “Where Most Needed” and selecting a gender and country. Due to American bylaws and vetting systems, one-on-one communication with the orphan is not allowed. Zakat Foundation of America operates in 15 countries, including Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Gifting options vary by region, but Eid gifts ranging from $25-$30 are available twice a year.
The Zakat Foundation of America’s orphan sponsorship program supports children in need for up to 18 years. Once the orphan reaches adulthood, they are no longer supported by the program. However, many generous donors continue to care for their education, vocational training, or marriage process. Sponsors can choose to stop their sponsorship at any time. The program covers healthcare costs, education, clothing, food, shelter, love, support, and prospects for the future.
Donors commit to a one-year commitment, but there is no contractual agreement. Donations are sent quarterly to the child, and the organization monitors and implements the program in 15 countries. Once sponsored, donors receive a profile of the sponsored orphan and an annual update. The program has benefited 12,689 poor children in 15 countries since 2014, and the Zakat Foundation of America is committed to serving all of humanity. The organization does not use religion as a criterion for selecting orphans, and the organization does not attempt to convert children to Islam.
