There is a particular kind of Eid ul-Adha group chat that gets active around this time every year. Someone — usually the most organised cousin — posts: “Are we all doing Qurban together this year? Through who?”
Then… a week passes. Then it’s Eid morning and nobody’s locked it in.
This year, let’s not. ARO has been delivering Qurban for 13+ years and runs Qurban giving at three tiers ($180, $230, $450). It’s straightforward to organise a group Qurban — whether you’re a mosque committee, a workplace ERG, a uni MSA, or just a family WhatsApp group. Here’s how.

Why group Qurban works
Pooling Qurban donations has practical benefits that solo giving doesn’t:
Lower the participation barrier. Some members may want to give Qurban but can’t comfortably do a full share. A coordinated approach lets everyone contribute at their level — and you cover the shares together.
Multiply the impact. A mosque committee that locks in 50 Qurban shares feeds significantly more families than 50 individuals each meaning to give but quietly forgetting.
Create community memory. Group Qurban becomes an annual tradition — a fixture of your workplace, mosque, or extended family.
Reduce deadline risk. One person owning the coordination dramatically lowers the chance the group misses the third-day-of-Eid cut-off.
Group setting #1 — your mosque or Islamic centre
For mosque committees, Qurban coordination usually looks like:
Set the ask. Decide whether you’re collecting one share per household, encouraging multiple shares, or running a sponsored drive (e.g. “Help us reach 100 Qurban shares by 25 May”).
Communicate the tiers. Make sure your community knows ARO offers $180 (Africa, Asia & Pacific), $230 (Where Most Needed), and $450 (Lebanon & Yemen). The three-tier decision guide can be shared as-is.
Direct donations to ARO. Each donor gives their own donation through aro.org.au/give-qurban-2026 so they each receive a tax-deductible receipt in their own name.
Track collective progress. Tally shares as you go. Share updates at Jumu’ah, on socials, or via mosque WhatsApp.
For larger collective campaigns, ARO has a dedicated Group Fundraising program that can support coordinated mosque drives.
Group setting #2 — your workplace or ERG
Muslim Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and workplace inclusion circles have become a growing channel for Qurban giving. A few patterns that work:
The “ERG match” pitch. Coordinate with your employer’s giving program. Many Australian companies match employee charity donations dollar-for-dollar up to a cap — your $180 Qurban can become $360 of charity if the workplace match applies. Check whether ARO is on your employer’s approved DGR list (and if not, request it — ABN 60 159 966 659 makes the paperwork trivial).
The Friday lunch share-out. Pick one Friday in mid-May, brief colleagues at lunch on Qurban, and share the donation link on Slack/Teams. Quiet, opt-in, no pressure.
The team challenge. A small group commits to collectively giving X Qurban shares. Names are listed (with permission) and the team posts a final tally after Eid.
Workplaces appreciate that ARO is a registered Australian charity with ACNC and DGR status — it makes their compliance simple.
Group setting #3 — your university MSA
Muslim Students’ Associations are some of the most efficient Qurban organisers in the country. A repeatable playbook:
Announce a Qurban drive at the start of Dhul Qa’dah (the month before Dhul Hijjah).
Set a target (e.g. “50 Qurban shares from our MSA in 2026”).
Run a single info session explaining the tiers, ARO’s program, and the deadline.
Share the donation link in your Discord / WhatsApp / group chat.
Post a thank-you after Eid with the final tally. This becomes recruitment content for next year.
Group setting #4 — your family WhatsApp group
The classic. Three tips that actually work:
Pick one coordinator. It doesn’t have to be the oldest. It has to be the person who actually replies to messages.
Set the deadline to 24 May 2026 (three days before Eid), not Eid morning. Family deadlines slip — build in a buffer.
Use the tiers to make it easy. “$180 each for one Qurban, or $230 if you want it directed where the need is greatest.” Less is more in family chats.
Each family member donates through the ARO Qurban 2026 page under their own name and gets their own tax-deductible receipt. (Why this matters at tax time: see our Qurban tax deduction guide.)
A common question: can multiple people share one Qurban?
A small sheep or goat is one Qurban share — for one person (or for one family unit in some interpretations). A cow can typically be shared among seven shares. The fiqh of sharing animals is best directed to a local imam or scholar.
For coordination purposes through ARO, the practical advice is: each person gives their own share ($180, $230 or $450) so each receives a valid Qurban and a tax-deductible receipt in their name. The group benefit is in the organising — not in legally combining shares.
For the underlying ruling on who Qurban is obligatory upon and the rules around animals, see ARO’s existing guides:

Now (week of 13 May): Appoint one coordinator. Pick a tier (or offer the three). This week: Share the ARO Qurban 2026 link and the tier explainer in your group chat / mosque newsletter / Slack. By 20 May: Send one reminder. Tally where you’re at. By 24 May: Final reminder. Confirm anyone who’s planning to give does so before Eid morning. Post-Eid: Thank the group. Share the final tally. Set the bar for next year.
