Baitulmaal Muamalat Celebrates 26 Years, Renews Commitment to Philanthropy

Baitulmaal Muamalat (BMM), an Islamic philanthropy, is celebrating its 26th anniversary, emphasizing its dedication to serving the community and maintaining the trust of its donors and partners. The organization has reiterated its commitment to operating as a trustworthy, professional, and accountable institution in managing and distributing zakat, infak, sedekah, and waqf (Ziswaf) funds, as well as corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Over the past two decades, BMM has strived to ensure that all entrusted funds are channeled effectively to beneficiaries through diverse programs focused on economic empowerment, education, healthcare, humanitarian aid, and social and religious outreach, both domestically and internationally.

Under the theme "Celebrating Care, Expanding Goodness," BMM's 26th anniversary serves as a call to action, encouraging broader participation in charitable giving. This theme is brought to life through various community activities, including the inauguration of clean water well endowments, seminars on waqf literacy, group shopping with orphans, mass circumcisions, distribution of "dream shoes," support for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by purchasing their snacks, and providing school kits to orphans across BMM's seven regional offices. Additionally, free health check-up services are being offered.

Marking this milestone, BMM is also launching the "El-Nino Survival Program," designed to reach beneficiaries nationwide. Since its inception on June 16, 2000, BMM has focused on strengthening its governance and professional management of public social funds. Its status as a National Amil Zakat Institution (Laznas) by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs and recognition as a Waqf Nazhir by the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) underscore its credibility. The growing trust from the public and partners is reflected in numerous accolades, including a Top Brand Award in 2024 and the TOP CSR Award 2026 (Corporate Level, 4 Stars) along with the TOP Leader on CSR Commitment 2026.

BMM's humanitarian efforts extend beyond national borders. In 2025, the organization delivered direct aid to the Palestinian people through the Jordanian border during both Ramadan and year-end periods. During Ramadan 2026, BMM provided live reports of aid distribution directly from within Palestine, allowing donors to witness the impact of their contributions firsthand. Tegar Sangga Barkah, Executive Director of BMM, emphasized that public trust is the fundamental pillar supporting the continuity of all the benevolent initiatives undertaken by BMM.
