Legal, Use of Funds & Transparency

Legal status & use of funds

Firdaws Project is an informal, volunteer-run grassroots initiative. It is not a registered charity, not a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in the United States, and not registered as a charity in the UK or other jurisdictions.

All contributions are used solely to help provide food, clean water, housing support, and basic amenities to families living in displacement camps in Iraq and Syria, as well as to cover the necessary operational costs of purchasing supplies, safe transport, coordination, and delivery.

This initiative has no affiliation with any political, ideological, or partisan actions or views.

For donors in the United States

Because this is an informal volunteer effort rather than a registered charity, donations are not tax-deductible for U.S. taxpayers.

For donors in the UK and other countries

This is not a registered charity under UK law. Please consider any local tax, charity, or donation regulations that may apply before contributing.

Transparency & reporting

We regularly share photos, messages from families, and delivery updates on Instagram (@projectfirdaws) and on our Updates page.

  • Contributions have supported regular food parcels, water deliveries, and essential supplies for dozens of families across camps.
  • Operational costs are kept as low as possible while ensuring reliable delivery.
  • We aim to direct the large majority of resources toward families rather than administration.
How we work

Volunteers coordinate directly with trusted contacts who have access to the camps. Supplies are typically purchased locally when possible. Aid is delivered in person with care for the dignity and privacy of the families receiving it.

Privacy

We do not collect or store personal data through this website. Any information shared with us via Instagram is used only to coordinate deliveries and provide updates.
