- How many charities can join the programme?
- Featured is capped at 12 active partners and Premier at 4. Caps keep each placement valuable — a homepage or Ramadan slot shared by four charities is worth far more than one shared by forty. Partner profile pages themselves are unlimited; the caps apply only to the paid placements.
- What happens if a tier is full when we apply?
- You join the waitlist at no cost and we contact you as soon as a slot opens, in the order you applied. We never oversell a capped tier — if we say four Premier partners, there are four.
- Which countries can apply?
- Any registered charity or non-profit, anywhere we publish prayer times — 24 countries at present. We verify every applicant against its national regulator: the Charity Commission in England and Wales, OSCR in Scotland, the IRS 501(c)(3) register in the United States, the CRA in Canada, the ACNC in Australia, and the equivalent authority elsewhere.
- Does paying change where our charity appears in listings or editorial?
- No. Prayer times, mosque listings and all editorial are never for sale and are not influenced by payment. Paid partnership adds a rich profile page and clearly labelled placement — nothing else.
- Do you process donations for our charity?
- Never. Every donate button leaves Global Prayer Times and opens your charity's own donate page. We never handle, hold or take a cut of donations — gifts go directly through your own fundraising setup.
- Is there a minimum term?
- Yes — so a capped placement keeps its value for every partner. Featured has a 6-month minimum; Premier has a 12-month minimum. After the minimum term the partnership rolls monthly and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. Your profile page stays live, unpaid and clearly labelled, even if you leave the paid placement.
- What does the donate button on our profile actually do?
- It opens your charity's own donation page in a new tab. Visitors see a clear notice that they are leaving Global Prayer Times, so there is never any confusion about who receives their gift.
- Is paid placement labelled as such?
- Always. Partner placements carry a visible "Charity partner" or "Verified partner" label wherever they appear, and every donate link is marked as an outbound sponsored link. Readers can always tell what is paid placement.
- Is there a discount for paying annually?
- Yes — annual billing gives you two months free on either tier. Featured is £1,290 a year rather than £1,548, and Premier is £2,990 rather than £3,588.
- How can donors check a charity before giving?
- We encourage it. For UK-registered charities, Charity Compare (charitycompare.org.uk) shows finances, spending ratios and governance side by side. Elsewhere, check the national regulator’s public register. We verify partners at application, but donors should always be able to see the numbers themselves.
