Top 5 Tips for Running a Successful Mosque Fundraising Campaign

Running a successful mosque fundraising campaign can feel overwhelming, especially with growing community needs like new prayer spaces or youth programs. But with the right strategy, you can inspire generosity and meet your goals. At Salah Mate (https://salahmate.com/), we’ve helped 25+ mosques across Europe and the USA raise funds efficiently using our AI-powered tools. Here are our top 5 tips to make your next campaign a triumph!
1. Set a Clear and Inspiring Goal
Every great campaign starts with a purpose. Whether it’s building a new masjid, supporting a Palestine relief effort, or providing water for attendees, define your target (e.g., $10,000) and share the story behind it. Use Salah Mate’s Web Portal to outline your goal and track progress in real-time, keeping your community motivated. A UK mosque raised $15,000 for repairs by sharing their journey online!
2. Leverage Cashless Donations with the Kiosk App
Manual cash collections can slow you down. Install Salah Mate’s Kiosk App on a tablet to offer cashless donations via Apple Pay or QR codes. This boosted a Manchester mosque’s donations by 20%, as it’s convenient for busy worshippers. Place kiosks at entrances or events like Eid prayers, and watch the funds grow effortlessly.
3. Engage Your Community with the TV Companion App
Visuals inspire action. Use the TV Companion App to display your campaign on mosque screens—show prayer times, a donation thermometer, or a video about your cause (e.g., water projects). During Jumu’ah, highlight success stories to encourage giving. One Spanish mosque saw a 30% engagement spike with dynamic displays!
4. Mobilize Supporters with the Salahmate App
Your congregation is on the go. The Salahmate App sends push notifications about your campaign, including donation links and updates. Encourage members to share with friends, amplifying your reach. A youth group in the USA rallied 50 new donors this way, proving technology bridges generations.
5. Host a Community Event with a Purpose
Bring people together! Organize an Iftar, lecture, or fun day, using Salah Mate tools to manage RSVPs and collect donations on-site. Promote it via the Web Portal and TV App, and invite local businesses to set up Kiosk Apps for Sadaqah. An Auburn, Alabama mosque raised $5,000 at their last Eid event with this approach.
