Raised £3,240.62 for charity this month, AMA

Well.. with a little help from my colleagues

Which charity?

Alzheimer's Society

Alzheimer's Society

Why do you feel that needed an eye roll.

Did you verify that 100% goes to charity?
I had UNICEF come yesterday and told them to bog off because the day before I saw the CEO made a freaking killing. Personally, I will never give to any charity that isn't giving 100% of my donations.

That's amazing, well done!

How did you guys all do it?

Good man.

Thanks

We set up a raffle and a cake sale at the firm I'm interning at. Was a pretty good opportunity, everyone there is rich af. We called up businesses within Central London and convinced them to donate prizes to us and we got employees/local confectionery shops to bake and donate cakes to us in which we sold last Friday.

Are raffles permitted in Islam if they're for charity?

Pfft.. I didn't even know they were not permitted. Does it come under gambling?

In answer to your question, I have no idea but it raised me some money so I ain't complaining.

I would have guessed so. But it's difficult to know sometimes.

What kinds of prizes were there?

Admin fee is pretty standard, though again it depends....some take a huge percentage, some don't even tell or list it on their website.
Though again depends who you give to charity, there are very few cases where you get 100% donation policy and even then they usually take the gift aid as it takes so long to claim.
