Non-profit organisations require necessary expenditure to continue their work and to operate efficiently, ethically, and in alignment with their mission. This also enables the organisation to expand its reach and provide better services.
Al-Ayn have several profitable Sadaqa Jariya projects. Some of the income generated by these projects is used to support the necessary expenditure of Al-Ayn, including administrative costs, as stipulated by the donors of these projects in the waqf or hiba.
Dedicated supporters contribute towards Al-Ayn’s necessary expenditure helping us maintain smooth operations and extend our reach to even more orphaned children living in poverty. As intended by the supporters, contributions may be directed to specific programmes or used to cover administrative costs.
Donations to this fund support Al-Ayn’s charitable activities that do not have a dedicated funding source or are experiencing a shortfall. These contributions may be used for general necessary expenditure or to provide additional support for specific campaigns. This is our most unrestricted fund, giving us the flexibility to direct resources where they are needed.
All Corporate Matched Donations, Gift Aid (UK), and similar charitable schemes are allocated to Al-Ayn’s Sustainability Fund. We are also exploring ways to expand contributions to this fund, helping us move towards greater sustainability and ensuring necessary expenditure is covered.
In August 2022, Al-Ayn Social Care Foundation requested from his eminence, the Supreme Religious Authority, Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani, his authorisation (Ijaza) for receiving donations and religious dues. Our request included a section on securing the necessary expenditure needed for the continuation of the work of Al-Ayn and its branches and offices around the world.
Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani accepted our request and granted us his authorisation by stating in his response, ‘We have given you permission with regards to what you have requested, in relation to the areas mentioned’.
The authorisation was signed and stamped by Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani himself and will remain valid until August 2026. To view the full authorisation, visit the official website of the office of Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani or click here.
My God, place me among the chosen, the good, join me to the righteous, the pious, the first to reach generous gifts, the swift to come upon good things, the workers of the enduring acts of righteousness, the strivers after elevated degrees.
Imam Al-Sajjad (AS) in his supplication in the Munajat of the obedient

Prior to March 2025, Al-Ayn did not allocate any portion of donations towards its necessary expenditure, which is a unique and uncommon position for a charity.
