My love for the Ramadan Challenge started with the ease of automated giving and not having to suffer from decision fatigue every day. Each year, LaunchGood would bring in new features that made the challenge more and more engaging. In short, I joined for ease and came back for the experience and the community.❞

Giving during Ramadan is a given, pun intended. But participating in Ramadan Challenge adds in a communal effect that you don’t get to see in traditional fundraising. I can take the time to learn more about where that donation is going and see how much of an impact it can make. It also opens you up to a whole range of exciting projects happening outside of your own bubble. I believe in giving locally and globally and the Ramadan Challenge allows me to do that easily.❞
Tessneem A.

Every year for the past 6 years there’s one thing I do that makes my Ramadan extra special... I take the Ramadan Challenge. I commit $1 a day and every day mixed with the thousands of other Muslims who participate, we create big change. The Ramadan Challenge gives me peace of mind that yes I’m making a difference and joining the Ummah as one heart beat.❞
