Every Ramadan, Muslims in the U.S. donate over $4 billion, most of it within just 30 days. Yet many nonprofits scramble last-minute, missing out on impact, reach, and opportunity.
In this powerful episode, Dr. Tayyab Yunus sits down with Monica Niro and Jumana El-Amori to reveal the proven strategies that drive successful Ramadan campaigns.
They break down:
✅ How to plan your Ramadan campaigns 45–60 days in advance
✅ The donor engagement systems that outperform emotional appeals
✅ Why storytelling and transparency build trust (even in the age of AI)
✅ The truth about Masjid fundraising — and when it actually works
✅ How to turn your data, dashboards, and team into a fundraising engine
Whether you're a nonprofit leader, marketer, or volunteer, this is your step-by-step playbook to make your next Ramadan your best one yet. 🌙
