Why Donate?
In order to be able to assist those in need in times of distress, as well as to support those who need help towards medical or educational costs, we do need to raise money from our fellow Zoroastrians, Friends and Supporters.
Thanks to fundraising efforts, bequests and donations, WZO has been able to build up a range of funds to support Zoroastrians in a variety of ways.
We hope you will consider supporting us through a donation, however big or small. Every donation counts and we thank you in advance for any assistance you are able to provide.
Please consider including WZO in your will for a lasting legacy.
How to Donate to WZO
For UK residents paying UK income tax, please consider signing the Gift Aid form if you have not done so in the past. You only need to do this once and it will give WZO an extra 25% of your donation without any additional costs to you.

Thank you for donating to WZO. It is greatly appreciated.
General Fund
Donations to this general fund are much appreciated as it allows the flexibility necessary to enable WZO to channel its resources in response to current requirements. Money from this fund can be sent anywhere in the world. It is, therefore, our preferred option for receiving contributions.
You can donate to WZO either by bank transfer to our UK bank account details above (which means WZO pays no processing fees) or by Paypal.
Special Appeals Fund
From time to time a particular need arises, which might be entirely focussed on our own Zoroastrian community.
Occasionally, however, WZO will launch an appeal in the face of a particular event or human tragedy that reaches beyond our own people.
Noshirwan F Cowasjee Medical Benevolent Fund
WZO utilises this fund to assist our fellow Zoroastrians to meet the high costs of medical treatment anywhere in the world.
Education Fund
WZO is building a corpus for this fund. It is in place to assist Zoroastrian students where personal financial limitations are a barrier to achieving their academic potential and ultimate goals. Donations to this fund are therefore helping to build a future generation of well qualified Zoroastrians.
Apply for Funding
For WZO to process applications for assistance, we request that applicants complete the necessary forms.
