Ramadan 2025 Fundraising

Support Muslim students at Boston University during Ramadan!

As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, we are reaching out to ask for your support in a special initiative to ensure that all Muslim students at Boston University can observe Iftar meals together in community. During Ramadan, BU Dining Services provides Halal Iftar meals, but students without meal plans face a financial barrier to participation, with each meal costing $20.00.

To address this, the BU Muslim Chaplaincy & Religious Life have launched a fundraising campaign to cover the cost of Iftar meals for these students. We are asking for your support in making this initiative a reality and ensuring that all Muslim students, regardless of their meal plan status, can join together for Iftar during Ramadan.
