Put your good deeds
on autopilot.
A traditional donation is spent immediately. An Afterfund donation is invested and periodic profits support causes you picked over and over again. This creates ~30x larger impact over your lifetime.
Traditional donation
Received once→spent oncevs
Afterfund
Invested once,
donated continuously
to our partner charity behind that cause
in halal funds made up of real estate and companies all around the world.
while your initial donation stays invested and continues multiplying.
Did you know?
During the time of the Prophet, people would plant palm trees, sell the dates every year and then donate money to different causes.
When previous generations donated for lasting good in traditional waqfs, they were not able to track how many people benefitted from it. Today, we have the technology to track and estimate how much good you are making with your waqf.
Leaving lasting good usually meant donating to mosques, madrassahs and building wells.
Inspired by the Sunnah mentioned above, Afterfund enables you to leave a lasting contribution for any cause you care about.

1. Pick a cause that you care about and donate.
2. Your donation lands directly into a secure account owned by our partner charity that is working on that cause.
3. Charity grows your donation in a halal way. This means that the money you donated is invested in halal-certified funds, made up of real estate and companies all around the world.
4. Every year the profits made from the growth of funds are distributed to the cause you picked, while the principal (the original amount donated) stays invested to continue multiplying your donation.
5. At the end of every year, Afterfund will send you an impact report showing how your donation was distributed and the difference it made.
The charity spreads investments through halal-certified funds that invest globally and across industries to minimize the risk and ensure that the eggs are never in one basket.
These funds invest in public companies, real estate, and other instruments with the highest standards for both stability and performance.
Afterfund does not provide investment advice or services to donors, but rather our partner charities grow their waqf funds with institutional standards for investing based on the risk tolerance and cause they are investing for.
We work with Islamic charities and all the investments they make are halal-certified and meet AAOIFI standards.
Math time! Let's say you donate $1000 to continuously provide meals.
On average, in the past 30 years, the market grew 10% per year.
So after 1 year, that $1000 grows to $1100.
Part of the profits are taken to buy the meals, and the other part stays together with the initial donation to continue multiplying and producing more meals.
For example, we buy meals for $50 and reinvest $50.
So, we start year 2 with $1050, and after another year, that grows to $1155.
Now, we can distribute even more meals!
Every year, more and more.
This is called compounding and it's one of the most powerful traits of investing.
If we repeat this process over and over again, during an average lifetime (77 years), you provide ~33x more meals than with your traditional donation.
Even though, when donating water well, it's considered a lasting good and it's not very usual to calculate how many liters of water it will provide, we wanted to cover this aspect as well to make sure you understand the impact difference you can make with Afterfund.
Just like a planted palm tree might not give yields during a dry year, the same can happen with Afterfund donations during global crises as well.
However, this usually happens in short periods.
Long term, the market has historically always grown as the world economy develops and grows.
Let's take a look at the market in the past 20 years:
As you can see, during the COVID-19 crisis, the market went down, but it quickly recovered and grew even more.
When you are donating to a waqf, you don't want to look short term - you want something that actively creates good deeds for you LONG TERM, during your lifetime, and even beyond.
