SUMMARY:Smarter Sadaqah: Creating a Family Foundation to Multiple Impact and Maximize Tax Savings | Hafiz Yaser Ali J.D.
DESCRIPTION:As the year ends and tax season approaches\, people typically increase their charitable giving. But what if you could do more — give generously\, save taxes legally\, and build lasting reward?  \nIn this practical session\, Attorney Yaser Ali will show how a Family Foundation can function as a modern waqf—a vehicle that lets you give and invest strategically\, support causes you care about\, and reduce your taxable income at the same time. \nFriday\, November 7\, 2025 | 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. | Prayer Hall | Free; no registration required | Join in person or watch virtually at mcceastbay.org/live \nYou’ll learn: \n\n\nHow to set up a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit entity before year-end to maximize tax deductions \n\n\nThe key differences between a Donor Advised Fund and a Foundation\, and when each makes sense \n\n\nHow to use these tools for Zakat and Sadaqah locally and internationally \n\n\nHow to include a bequest (wasiyah) in your estate plan to continue your charitable impact beyond your lifetime \n\n\nWhether you give a little or a lot\, this session will show you how to turn your generosity into Smarter Sadaqah—charity that saves taxes\, multiplies blessings\, and builds your family’s legacy of ongoing good. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \nAbout Shaykh Yaser \n\n\n\nShaykh Hafiz Yaser Ali\, J.D.\, is a trusts & estates attorney specializing in helping American Muslims create tax-efficient\, Sharia-compliant estate plans.
