We changed our Orphan Sponsorship Program by removing photos because we realized how bias could influence all of us. But is there bias in charitable giving? We sought to find this out by conducting a study that asks Americans to examine their biases.
Bias is when you give or don’t give charity based on an overgeneralization that is inaccurate or even harmful. Are Americans predisposed to giving to certain charities over others? How does it affect Muslim charitable organizations?
("Heuristics and Biases in Charity" by Jonathan Baron and Ewa Szymanska)
Give boldly and without bias when it comes to caring for orphans in need. A 4 star-rated charity with over 20 years of experience bringing humanitarian relief to over 80 countries, Zakat Foundation of America is ready for you to make a difference in a child’s life.
In 2023, 90¢ from each dollar donated went directly toward programs serving those in need. 4¢ went to administrative costs & 6¢ went to fundraising costs.
