Attended a fundraising event and donated and also have been following FB live and LI social media posts. I like the transparency, the style and the appeal of PAUSA. I love the work that you do, the 100% Zakat Policy, such an easy way to donate online, your marketing brand and the overall exciting feel of your charity. May Allah swt bless your work and your staff and volunteers with more success, Ameen.
MOMNetwork has worked with Penny Appeal for over 5 years. They have supported several DMV community members - sponsorship, meat, and gift cards for Zakat during EId - to name a few activities.
Countless of families have been touched by their work and the ability to make sure "everyone" is seen and supported - from the USA to Haiti.
Penny Appeal USA is a great place to be donating, volunteering, and serving humanity with. I appreciate greatly their mission to eradicate poverty by implementing sustainable solutions that won't just solve a symptom of poverty, but rather carve a route out of poverty. The staff are passionate and committed to helping those in need across the nation and around the globe. I'm very proud to be involved.
Penny Appeal USA has a unique approach at doing things. They are transparent and I can trust that my hard earned money is going towards what I donated to! Through their various programs, they were able to make a lasting impact for communities, families, and victims of disasters.
I’ve had nothing but good experiences volunteering with penny appeal USA! They have been very supportive in the establishment of a chapter at UMD and are super communicative with all of its volunteers. They truly just want to help their volunteers achieve their goals within the organization and provide all the necessary materials to succeed.
I really appreciate the work PA USA does domestically and globally, especially their goal to ensure that for every international program there's a similar program in the US. Also, I am glad to see how transparent they are with their results; it's particularly impressive that they produce quarterly reports for their supporters because most non-profits only create an annual report.
This is an org with a global presence, but I personally know first hand as a volunteer, and now donor, PAUSA is comprised of a small group of sincere, driven, progressive, kind, and humble individuals. The company culture is non-toxic, and innovation is celebrated. Best of all, while it is comprised of mostly Muslims and honors faith-based practices, it also welcomes talent from anyone that has it, and does not let religiosity govern its practices. From an insider's perspective, it's pretty appealing :)
Penny Appeal USA has been doing some incredible work and has a passionate team I had the pleasure of working with. I was happy to help raise money to help orphans around the world. They have the quality and care you’d love to see in a charity that is reflected from it’s constituents all the way to the top.
Penny Appeal USA as a charitable nonprofit who embodies the best of America. They provide a way for people to work together for the common good, transforming shared beliefs and hopes into action. Penny Appeal USA gives shape to our boldest dreams, highest ideals, and noblest causes. Their civic engagement coupled with their leadership, their drive for economic growth, and how they strengthen the fabric for our communities every single day is phenomenal. To weave a relationship between women’s empowerment and domestic violence in their non-profit, was powerful! It is my honor to work with them as a team, as a family and as an organization I can trust!
I enjoy learning about the work Penny Appeal USA does! From the beautiful website to the very informative program reports, I can see exactly where my donations go. I love that Penny Appeal USA is extremely transparent with their donors. Their efforts do not go unnoticed.
I must say i'm very impressed with the work Penny Appeal USA has done and the level of transparency they provide. I have seen first hand how quickly they respond to emergencies and how quick they were to provide help and assistance without hesitation. The impact they have had on communities world wide speaks for itself. Keep it up!
Penny Appeal USA is a high quality organization. It is impactful and also strategical, striving to end cyclical poverty. The volunteer coordinator also strives to make the volunteers feel included. I recommend this nonprofit.
Really impressed by Penny Appeal's programs and services in the U.S + internationally. As a donor, this is the only non-profit I've seen with such a detailed breakdown of their projects & transparency when following up with them, especially for orphan kind + thirst relief projects. It's always a delight interacting with their staff.
I was introduced to Penny Appeal at a convention by chance three years ago and I was immediately captivated by the amazing work they do to help people worldwide. There was no chapter in my are for me to get involved at first, but this year they held an event in my city for the first time which gave my friends and I the unforgettable opportunity to volunteer and be part of the team. After, I was given the tremendous opportunity to be able to open a chapter where I live. The best thing about Penny Appeal is that they make everyone feel valid and appreciated with their efforts to help with their larger mission, no matter how small those efforts may be, which gives a sense of belonging like no other organization I’ve worked with. They really get the community excited to do more good in the world with how professional and interactive their events are, and they give hope that with everyone pitching in just a little, humanity can achieve great things. I’m so honored to be able to be a part of such an amazing group of people, and I hope that I’ll be able to contribute more to the cause as I am able to bring more of the light Penny Appeal holds to my city and community!
I met Penny Appeal at a Convention last year and what made them stand out to me was their enthusiasm and eagerness to work with me! Their mission to address the root of all poverty is powerful and I’ve had the tremendous opportunity to establish my own chapter at my university and work closely with kindhearted, driven people to engage in world-relief campaigns despite dire times with COVID-19. I’m immensely proud to be part of Team Orange and I’m stoked for what’s to come!
I’ll be real...I’m picky with the non profits I volunteer with. Yes, many have great mottos, initiatives and they work hard to hold the weight of their words when it comes to participating. But Penny Appeal is a gem of joy. Not only do they talk to the talk and walk the walk but they’ve made me smile and cheer in comraddery since 2017. From their comedy shows, to movie showings, down to conventions, and digital engagement- they make even the most somber of souls lighten up to serve the greater good. I’m grateful to have met an organization that is not just enthusiastic about ending cyclical poverty, its emphatically committed! I encourage you to not just support them but brighten your day by volunteering with them. God bless them, you the reader, and all whom you meet!
Penny Appeal USA is by far the best non-profit organization I have ever come across. I would know first-hand because I am a part of this organization, I was so nervous to go to the office and meet all the staff. I am a small town girl and here I was on a airplane going to a big city and meeting the CEO and the staff of a big organization I was terrified. My first day put all my fears and worries out the window. They welcomed me as part of the family instantly. As the weeks went by I was so mesmerized by the work and passion the staff, volunteer's, and donors have to alleviate poverty. I found myself wanting to donate and spread the word anyway I can. I can tell you from my own experience you will not regret being a part of our family. "Small change Big difference" is something that I truly never understood until I joined Penny Appeal USA!
Amazing organization with a ton of local and international causes. I love having the opportunity to raise money in creative ways. It’s been a pleasure working with Penny Appeal USA and look forward to continue working with them.
Ive worked with Penny Appeal for a year now and this is definitely my favorite organization to volunteer with. Getting the chance to help those in need with a super amazing and nice team AND seeing what our help does is honestly the best experience. I can’t wait to see what PA will achieve in the coming years.
I've been donating to Penny Appeal USA for the past few years, and it's always been an easy, affordable, and unforgettable way of donating!

Penny appeal is a great organization! Makes it easy to give back while encouraging everyone in the community to contribute!
Penny Appeal USA is a great example of what can be accomplished when people come together for good without ego and with honesty. From their down to earth professional staff to their dedicated volunteers every interaction with them has been fantastic.
Their programs are effective and the way they report on the work they are doing is clear, transparent and honest.
I would not hesitate to donate again and recommend to others to do so as well.
Sustainability is essential in order to make a lasting Impact and Penny Appeal knows just how to make that happen!
Penny Appeal is a nonprofit organization that not only invests in communities internationally, but domestically as well. For being the new kids on the block, Penny Appeal has brought creativity, team work, leadership development, and community building to areas they are focused in. There programs strive to empower families in socio-economic disadvantages by teaching them how they can use their local resources to alleviate cyclical poverty. Great organization!
Penny Appeal USA is a great environment to volunteer with! the staff there are so nice and friendly. Their programs are also very diverse and self sustained, which allow a lot of communities to get out of poverty and depend on themselves.
Penny Appeal USA is truly a leader in its field. They're innovative, lively and transparent! I'm consistently impressed by their communications and branding. It's clear that they do the work they promise and as a donor, I feel confident that my money will be put to good use.
Penny Appeal USA definitely puts the “USA” in its name. Being in the non-profit field for many years, I can clearly see their on the ground work, and the impact it has in the US. They are very volunteer-driven and work in tandem with staff to accomplish great work. Their well program and OK program are extremely notable, due to the conscious effort to ensure donors know where their donations are going. Lastly, also as a donor, their branding and web presence is absolutely phenomenal, spans a large audience, and is very theme orientated. These folks are not afraid to bring livelihood, fun, and joy while working towards ending poverty. Rather than showing beneficiaries suffering, they show the outcome, the smiles of children and family. They’re as orange as it gets.
Working for Penny Appeal USA has been the best professional decision I have made in my career thus far. The environment and leadership is conducive for professional, academic, and personal growth. Theres a true workplace harmony and mutual respect among the staff that I have never quite experienced in a job before. From a behind-the-scenes perspective, the focus is always on ethics whether its a operational practice or a programatic practice. This makes it easy for me to personally promote the mission and organization because of the moral integrity I witness on a day to day basis. My favorite thing about working with the Penny Appeal USA team is the young and innovative staff and their academic and tech-savy approach to problem-solving in the modern age.
I have had a great experience working with Penny Appeal. Their team in Florida does exceptional work and is very assessable and transparent in their operations. They support inporantant causes and aim to include the community in the effort to bring about change- something that is not always a common aspect of relief and humanitarian work. Great job!
This nonprofit organization is very helpful and cares for all people. If you care for the goodness of people and want to better humanity then this the organization for you!
A year ago I had the pleasure of volunteering with Penny Appeal USA at the 2016 MAS-ICNA convention, since then I have been an active #TeamOrange member. My love for this organization and it’s team continues to grow with each event, I have never met a group of people work with such enthusiasm!
Every time I volunteer with penny appeal I always get that inner peace and feel like I’m ACTUALLY making a difference.
Smart sustainable programs. Passionate driven employees. Team oriented volunteer group.
Penny appeal USA has accomplished a lot for recently launching and I’m so proud that I got it to be part of that process. Not only do they only have international programs but also domestic, which is really important to me.
Their multifaceted programs help target key areas that need improvement (in a particular issue like water insecurity in south Central Asia) which is why they are sustainable long term solutions. I love that they thought about everything. And this is due to having a young but well experienced team of employees. I am proud that I am part of Team Orange because I really feel like I’m making a difference in helping put these programs in action. And it’s fun- team orange is like a 2nd family to me.
Penny appeal was brought to my attention by a friend who was a volunteer and need help organizing. I started out helping this charity by just setting up and organizing. I really didn’t know exactly what penny appeal was or how it helped the community. It wasn’t until the end of my first day where i met the CEO and sat down with him and had a conversation about the organization. This charity is absolutely amazing and helps out so many people in need. Need that the average person doesn’t think about. From the digital divide project to helping set up water wells in African countries.
I’ve been volunteering with penny appeal for over a year now and i still feel the joy and self accomplishment as i did that first day.
I have first been introduced to TeamOrange just weeks before Ramadan. I am very grateful to Penny Appeal USA for the warmest welcoming and opportunities. The organization allocates resources very efficiently and gives the best dollar value of the donor.
I've confidently donated to Penny Appeal USA trusting that my money is going to good use. I've never once doubted the work they do because it's genuine and you can see the results! And on top that, a genuine and kind staff with an open door policy makes it all the more welcoming. Glad to be on #teamorange!
