The nonprofit digital marketing agency for reaching Muslim donors.
Strategy, paid media, tracking and donor intelligence for US nonprofits, planned around Ramadan, zakat and qurbani.
In short: Wusul is a digital marketing agency for US nonprofits that raise from Muslim donors. We plan fundraising around the Islamic calendar, run paid media on Meta, Google, TikTok and Snapchat, set up tracking that ties spend to gifts, and use donor data to grow repeat giving. We also publish the Islamic Charity Index, which ranks 5,189 US 501(c)(3) organizations by the revenue they report to the IRS.
Muslim respondents in the Muslim Philanthropy Initiative's 2021 survey reported average faith-based giving of $1,810 in 2020, against $1,138 for the general population, and the Initiative estimated Muslim Americans gave $1.8 billion in zakat in 2021. Only about a quarter of Muslim faith-based giving went to houses of worship, so nonprofits compete for the rest.

Why nonprofits choose a specialist
The calendar moves every year
The Islamic year is about eleven days shorter than the solar year, so Ramadan, Dhul Hijjah and qurbani shift each year. Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around February 8. See our Islamic giving calendar.
Zakat has rules donors care about
Donors want to know whether an appeal is zakat eligible and how it is spent. Messaging has to be accurate, and your zakat policy approved by your own scholars.
Trust is earned in the community
The words, faces and partners in a campaign decide whether it feels like it comes from within the community or is aimed at it.
Understand. Reach. Retain.
Every engagement runs in this order.
Understand
We start with your donor data and the audience you want to reach, then find where the growth is.
Reach
We plan the season, build the creative and run the media, with tracking in place before the first ad goes live.
Retain
We turn first gifts into regular giving and report what worked, honestly, against real gifts.
