Zakaat-IT

SoftOutlook has developed a specialist software to assist Muslim charities with their every day book keeping, audit trail and year-end accounts.

Zakaat-IT enables users to manage Gift Aid requirements and facilitate Islamic charity distribution. It records donors and donations, captures declarations and produces tax claim reports. The software facilitates collections and allocations of Zakaat and Sadaqah to their rightful recipients incorporating Gift Aid benefits.

Donor Management
Zakaat-IT facilitates new entry and updates of donor information through a series of easy-to-use screens. Individual donor's historic entries and other statistics can be at your finger tips with reports and queries.

Donation Management
With the Zakaat-IT donation management system, Muslim charities can allocate donations to different projects and fund raising activities. Each project has its own analysis capabilities.

Its unique structure enables Zakaat-IT users either to combine or divide donations between the different appeals, across which the individual donors might wish to spread their donation. The Gift Aid tax claim can also be allocated to the donor's choice of fund.

If a donor wishes to give Zakaat to a specific relief fund and wants the Gift Aid claim on that donation to be allocated to a different fund, the charity can add value to its service and provide a break-down of the donor's request.

Zakaat-IT stores both Gift Aid and non Gift Aid donations. Incomes and expenses are determined at 'fund-type' level. For example, a 'fund-type' could be 'Zakaat', 'Qurbani' or 'world disaster relief fund'. Gift Aid and non Gift Aid related funds can be accounted for and can be analysed at fund-type level as well as in aggregate. The charity would have full control over the 'fund-types' they wish to create. Expenses can be taken from any fund-type that the charity's policy demands.

Zakaat-IT logs information about the recipients of the donations too. This helps charities when they want to audit who they have helped and what costs were incurred. Tools are available to black-list certain recipients for future projects.

These are some of the functions that Zakaat-IT can perform. There are many more tools, reports and queries included such as banking and fixed asset modules.

SoftOutlook is in the process of developing a web-based service for charities to raise funds on their websites for different projects. Please get in touch with us and we will update you of its progress.

Zakaat-IT can be easily modified to add bespoke functions and to change existing functions to suit the charity's needs.

Being a charity conscious company, our charges would reflect the importance of minimising costs.
