Frequently asked questions
Q: What is QIF?
A: The Qureshi International Fund is a Canadian non-profit founded in 1980 in Peshawar, Pakistan, originally as the Qureshi Trust. It supports education, welfare, water, health and community work in Pakistan, with operating chapters in Pakistan and Canada.
Q: Is QIF a registered charity?
A: QIF is a registered Canadian non-profit corporation. Charitable registration with the Canada Revenue Agency is in progress and tax receipts will be issued retroactively to 2026 donors once the registration is awarded.
Q: Where do my donations go?
A: Every gift is tagged at the donation gateway to a specific project. Donors can see the disbursements made against the project budget, the receipts attached, and the latest field report.
Q: Can I direct my Zakat through QIF?
A: Yes. Funds are segregated into Zakat, Education and General buckets at the donation gateway and tracked separately throughout. Zakat is distributed in accordance with the eight categories under traditional jurisprudential guidance.
Q: How does QIF compare to other Pakistani charities?
A: QIF is small. It cannot match Alkhidmat or Islamic Relief on volume. What QIF offers that they do not is per-donation project transparency: every dollar is visible from gateway to receipt.
Q: Where does QIF operate?
A: Programme delivery happens in Pakistan, primarily in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Peshawar, Akora Khattak, Karak District), Sindh (including Tharparkar), and Balochistan. The Canadian chapter handles fundraising, governance and compliance.
Q: Who runs QIF?
A: QIF is led by a volunteer Executive Committee with operating chapters in Pakistan and Canada. Board governance is being formalised in 2026, including the appointment of an independent Board Chair with charity-governance experience.
Q: How can I contact QIF?
A: Email info@qifund.org. For corporate-partnership enquiries, partners@qifund.org. We respond within five business days.
Q: What is the Irshad Begum Foundation?
A: A sister organisation in Akora Khattak, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, focused on children education. QIF makes recurring monthly contributions in support of its work.
