LAZ Al Azhar

What LAZ Al Azhar does

LAZ Al Azhar (Lembaga Amil Zakat Al Azhar) is a privately-held Indonesian nonprofit charitable organization founded in 2004 and headquartered at Jl. Sisingamangaraja, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta Selatan. It operates as the Zakat-management arm of Yayasan Pesantren Islam Al Azhar, collecting and distributing Islamic charitable funds (Zakat, Infak/Sedekah, Wakaf, Kurban, Fidyah, and general Donasi) from individual Muslim donors (muzaki) to underprivileged recipients (mustahik) across Indonesia. The organization employs 14 staff and runs programs across seven pillars: Pendidikan (Education), Ekonomi (Economy), Kemanusiaan (Humanitarian), Dakwah Sosial (Social Da'wah), Lingkungan (Environment), Kesehatan (Health), and Pemberdayaan (Empowerment).

The platform runs on a digital-first crowdfunding architecture: the donasi.alazharpeduli.or.id portal, a dedicated Android mobile application launched in April 2021, WhatsApp consultation hotlines for Zakat and Wakaf, QR-code-based donation flows, and on-site jemput zakat (zakat pickup) services. Two operating subsidiaries extend the model: Rumah Gemilang Indonesia (RGI), a vocational training campus in Sawangan, Depok, and Wakaf Al Azhar, which runs endowment programs including the Wakaf Energi renewable-energy initiative unveiled at the D-8 Halal Expo Indonesia 2026. Field operations are delivered through 7+ regional representative offices spanning Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi.

The business model is donation-based: contributions are voluntary and Sharia-compliant, with Zakat receipts recognized by Indonesian tax authorities as a deductible expense (Pengurang PKP). LAZ Al Azhar is registered with BAZNAS, holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, and partners with government (Kementerian Agama) and corporate CSR programs (Prudential Syariah, Tokopedia, ParagonCorp, Kitabisa, Bank Jakarta, PALYJA, Rumah Yatim) to execute community empowerment, MSME enablement, and disaster-recovery projects. There are no external investors; the organization is funded entirely by public donations and endowment flows.
