Objective

Interested in learning more about Islamic finance? Join us in our upcoming Tadamon Talks webinar where you will learn about tools, such as Zakat (mandatory almsgiving) and Sadaqah (charitable giving), the cornerstone of Islamic social finance. We will also explore how to couple these tools with the power of crowdfunding and share examples of successful stories.

During the webinar, you will meet key experts on Islamic finance and representatives of crowdfunding platforms, which are Shari’ah-compliant. They will share their experience and tips on how to use Islamic finance tools and explain the culture of individual giving in Islamic countries. We will also explore examples of how to crowdfund during the month of Ramadan. Following the webinar, you will have a better understanding of the importance of Islamic finance tools and how to use them as a funding opportunity for your campaigns.

The webinar will be in English and open to the public. Translation will be offered in French, Arabic and Indonesian.
