Product overview

Hiday Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving the poor worldwide since 1999 through social welfare, educational, healthcare, self-employment, and environmental programs. The organization operates a portfolio of charitable initiatives organized into five core program areas: Education (including schools, tuition centers, and skills training institutes), Social Welfare (including food distribution, disaster relief, widow/orphan support, and Islamic charitable offerings), Environment (clean water and tree planting), Healthcare (medical assistance and clinics), and Self-Employment (farmer assistance, animal farming, and small business support). The main digital touchpoint is the Online Donation System at donation.hdaya.org, which enables donors to contribute to specific projects. The organization does not offer a technology product or AI-powered platform; rather, it delivers services through field operations and partner organizations, primarily in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and other countries.

Broad incumbents

• Direct Relief: Major humanitarian aid organization delivering medical assistance, disaster relief, and in-kind goods globally. Comparable in container-shipment logistics and medical-aid focus, though non-faith-based and secular.
• Islamic Relief Worldwide: The global parent of Islamic Relief USA and a far larger established Islamic humanitarian NGO. Operates the same program categories (Zakat, orphan sponsorship, Qurbani, disaster relief, water) at materially larger scale across more countries.
• Mercy Corps: Large secular humanitarian and development organization with overlapping emergency-response, food security, water, and livelihood programs in similar geographies. Serves as a benchmark for institutional-grade humanitarian operations and reporting.
• Doctors Without Borders (MSF): Internationally recognized medical humanitarian organization with overlapping healthcare and emergency-response programs in conflict zones where Hidaya also operates (Gaza, Sudan, Afghanistan).
• UNRWA: United Nations agency providing humanitarian aid and development to Palestine refugees. Comparable in operating in Gaza and the broader Middle East, and in delivering education, health, and relief services to vulnerable populations.

Direct peers

• Penny Appeal USA: U.S. arm of a UK-based Muslim charity running Zakat, Qurbani, orphan sponsorship, emergency relief, and water projects. Competes for the same diaspora donor base with similar digital-first donation infrastructure.
• Islamic Relief USA: U.S.-based 501(c)(3) affiliate of Islamic Relief Worldwide. Operates Zakat collection, orphan sponsorship, disaster relief, and seasonal campaigns (Qurbani, Ramadan) targeting the same U.S. Muslim donor base with a similar multi-country field model.
• Zakat Foundation of America: U.S.-based nonprofit focused on collecting and distributing Zakat, Sadaqah, and Fidya to impoverished populations globally. Closely comparable product mix (Zakat programs, orphan sponsorship, seasonal giving, food distribution) and identical donor demographic.
• Muslim Aid USA: U.S. affiliate of Muslim Aid (UK) running Zakat, Qurbani, orphan sponsorship, water, and emergency relief. Directly comparable target donors, program taxonomy, and geographic focus (Pakistan, Africa, Middle East).
