TS-FS-13 Trust & Stewardship Financial Stewardship CORE Compliance v2.9.7

Funds disbursed timely

Assessing whether the organization disburses funds to beneficiaries, projects, and partners in a timely manner is critical. Prompt disbursement is essential for program effectiveness, maintaining partner relationships, meeting beneficiary needs, and fulfilling the purpose of charitable donations. In Islamic tradition, the prompt distribution of Zakat (obligatory charity) and Sadaqah (voluntary charity) reflects upholding organizational Amanah (trust). Unjustified delay in delivering these financial rights contradicts the imperative of Ihsan (excellence) when serving vulnerable populations.
