Islamic Relief USA has been growing steadily over the last few years. We thank Allah Almighty first, as well as all our donors, supporters and volunteers across the country for helping us achieve the goals that we all share - alleviating the poverty and suffering of the world's poorest people, as well as providing lasting, sustainable solutions to help people help themselves.

What They Say About Islamic Relief

“Islamic Relief USA consistently executes its mission in the most fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most charities in America.”
-Charity Navigator, May 1, 2010

“[Islamic Relief ] is vital to the strength of the Gulf Coast communities you serve and essential to making them whole once more [after Hurricane Katrina].”
-Senator Edward Kennedy, Mar. 9, 2006

“Some 10,000 aid workers have come to Darfur, from dozens of agencies. One of the earliest was Islamic Relief. It is funded largely by Muslims in the West. And because many staff are called as much by faith as professional skill, Islamic Relief works in places many secular groups find too dangerous.”
-PBS, May 13, 2005

“I have nothing but the greatest admiration for the way in which Islamic Relief responds to these dreadful disasters. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Islamic Relief and other organizations like them.”
-Prince Charles of Wales, Oct. 11, 2005

“Islamic Relief also benefits from a reputation of trustworthiness, said mainstream aid workers, as well as other Muslim ones. Islamic Relief has helped victims of Hurricane Katrina and the Asian tsunami in addition to people in the Middle East.”
