Ramadan may have the best nights, but Dhul Hijjah has the best days.

It is narrated that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “There are no days in this world during which worship is more beloved to Allah, Glorious is He, than the (first) ten days (of Dhul- Hijjah). Fasting one of these days is equivalent to fasting for one year, and one night of them is equal to Lailatul-Qadr.” (Abu Hurairah)

Hajj this year is different. Let’s uplift our community and bring our hearts together.

Raising funds and reaching your goals during these blessed days doesn’t have, and shouldn’t, depend on having a marketing package. While marketing services through LaunchGood can amplify your campaign, they are certainly not the only way to be successful.

So here are some tips to help guide you through having a successful Dhul Hijjah and exceeding your fundraising goals 🙌🏼
