Austin Zakat GAMRC

Greater Austin Muslim Relief Committee

Zakat given locally, delivered locally.

GAMRC unites nine masajid across Austin, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Leander, Pflugerville, Manor, Georgetown, Kyle, and Buda to collect and distribute zakat where our community needs it most — rent, food, medical bills, and a hand up in hard times.

How It Works

From your zakat to their doorstep

01

The community gives zakat

Muslims across Greater Austin contribute zakat, sadaqah, and Zakat al-Fitr directly to the committee.

02

Partner masajid review applications

Volunteers at each affiliated masjid receive and vet requests for help from families in their community.

03

Funds reach families quickly

GAMRC coordinates distribution so rent, bills, food, and medical needs are met without delay.

Every masjid, one committee, one mission.

Whether you're ready to give or you need a hand, your local masjid is your first step. Together we make sure zakat reaches our neighbors quickly and with dignity.
