What is Jummah Grants?

As a continuation of the Support Our Mosques programme, LaunchGood has launched Jummah Grants to incentivise community giving for participating mosques. Each Friday, there will be a daily competition for mosques to garner the highest number of individual donors on their LaunchGood page with the hope of receiving a grant ranging from £1000-£250. Grants have been made possible through the generosity grant sponsors Penny Appeal UK and Mercy Mission, alongside Jummah Grants campaign donors.

You can register to take part in the Jummah Grants scheme via SupportOurMosques.com

How can I win a Jummah Grant?

To win, you need to attract the highest number of individual supporters to donate to your campaign every Friday (midnight to midnight UK time). The focus is on the number of supporters, not the highest amount raised.

Watch our video “How to Win” to see the winning strategy which has helped dozens of mosques win during Ramadan 2020.
