Donation Policy
Your Donations
All funds are collected in the UK and distributed where needed. One Nation supports local, national and international projects. From providing hot food and support for the homeless in the UK, to providing emergency aid, clean water, food, clothes and shelters in devastated countries around the world.
When donating via the website or via bank transfer, please indicate the charitable aim(s) you wish your donation to be applied to, we treat these donations as restricted funds. If any funds are not referenced, Trustees may use these donations for any projects at their discretion.
If we collect insufficient funds to complete the project you have donated towards. Trustees will use their discretion to move additional funds from General Funds to complete the project.
If the charitable need for which we have collected for no longer exists or has been completed, then Trustees will use their discretion to ascertain the intention of the donors and any surplus funds will be allocated towards other similar projects.
Project costs can vary due to changing local conditions, supply availability, and currency fluctuations. While we list set prices for each appeal, the actual cost at the time of delivery may differ. Any surplus or shortfall will be directed to where it is needed most to ensure aid reaches those in need.
We take donations by Islamic Categories, for example Fidya, Kaffarah, Zakat, these are restricted by Shariah Criteria, in which the trustees will select the country based on overall considerations, if country has not been specified when donating.
In the interest of the beneficiary, the charity evaluates the needs of the people and with their consent (Wakalah), provides them with what is needed for e.g. food, shelter, emergency aid, and clothing.
100% Donation policy
One Nation operates on a 100% donation policy and all donations are used for the delivery and service of the project. We work under the guidance of the Charity Commission and scholars in order to ensure that funds are distributed according to both Islamic and UK charity laws.

Donations specified for administration and from recycled clothing. The charity has a separate account for its administration fund to ensure the 100% donations policy is maintained.
Tax reclaimed from your donation (where specified) from the UK government’s Gift Aid scheme. This allows taxpayers to increase the value of their donation by 25%. This additional money is allocated to the charity’s administration fund.
