Ways to give
BVMCC is funded by the families who use it. Donations are processed securely and go to the fund you select.
Zakat al-Maal
Your obligatory annual charity, distributed through the masjid to those entitled to receive it.
Operations
Rent, utilities, and the day-to-day costs of keeping the doors open for five daily prayers.
Renovation Fund
The building on Cottle Road is ours. This fund pays for the renovation needed to open it fully.
Zakat al-Maal
Zakat is not charity in the ordinary sense — it is an obligation on wealth held above the nisab for a full lunar year, and it is owed to specific categories of people.
Zakat given through BVMCC is kept separate from the operations and renovation funds, and distributed to those entitled to receive it. If you need help calculating what is due, or you are in need yourself, write to the board in confidence.
