The views expressed in our content reflect individual perspectives and do not represent the authoritative views of the Baha'i Faith.
Baha’is never ask others for monetary contributions — in fact, only Baha’is can contribute to the Baha’i funds, and all contributions are completely confidential. No one ever passes a plate or requires anyone to participate, since every donation is considered private and personal.
The monetary contributions Baha’is make foster social development programs, community service activities, the maintenance of Baha’i centers and gardens, and the spiritual education for children, youth, and adults. Participating in these programs is open to everyone who wishes to be a part of building communities based on spiritual principles such as justice, kindness, and love.
