Yala Media Group partners with Muslim and Islamic nonprofits to channel 100% of our profits toward causes that matter. Every app we ship is a vehicle for giving — no fundraising pages, no donation drives. Just play, use, and give.
Not a decision you make once a year. A quiet, continuous act woven into the digital habits you already have.
We believe giving should be effortless. Not a separate app you remember to open. Not a fundraiser you scroll past. A structure that turns every tab opened, every search made, every purchase completed into an act of ongoing sadaqah — automatically, transparently, and without changing anything about how you already live.
The charity is built into the product — not bolted on. Every product we ship has giving at its core, not its periphery.
We publish every disbursement publicly. Our operating costs and developer fee are documented and disclosed. No hidden margins.
We partner with vetted, established Islamic nonprofits. Users choose where their giving goes. We are the infrastructure, not the gatekeeper.
The model is simple by design.
A browser extension, a mobile app, or a game. Free to install. The only setup is choosing which nonprofit your giving supports.
Open new tabs. Search the web. Shop on Amazon. Play a game. Your existing habits generate ad revenue and affiliate commissions in the background.
Every month, after documented operating costs, 100% of remaining profits are disbursed to your chosen organization. We publish the numbers publicly.
Each generates passive revenue from everyday digital behavior and routes it to the organizations doing work that matters.
One Chrome extension that converts three everyday behaviors into ongoing sadaqah. New tab pages generate ad impressions. Amazon shopping generates affiliate commissions. Bing searches generate per-query revenue. One install, three streams, zero effort.
A simple, beautiful daily dhikr counter and tracker built for community adoption. Masajid and Islamic schools list themselves as the beneficiary for their community. The app that turns daily remembrance into daily giving.
A dedicated gifting platform for life's meaningful moments — weddings, new babies, Eid, graduations, in memoriam. Give in someone's name to a cause they care about. Beautiful digital gift cards, delivered instantly.
A hyper-casual mobile game launching on iOS and Android. Fast-paced reflex gameplay with a giving model baked in from the first session. Every ad impression and in-app purchase routes to your chosen Islamic nonprofit.
We build deliberately. Each phase proves the model before the next one begins.
Launch the extension bundle — new tab giving, Amazon affiliate, and Bing search redirect — as a single install. Establish the passive giving model, build the first user base, and prove the monthly disbursement process end to end with a pilot nonprofit partner.
Launch the dhikr mobile app with a masjid-by-masjid adoption strategy. Open the Yala nonprofit directory — any verified 501(c)(3) Muslim organization can apply. Mosques, schools, and community orgs each become a node in the giving network.
A dedicated gifting web app targeting Ramadan as the natural launch window. Every gift sent is a marketing event — recipients discover Yala through the act of receiving.
By phase four, Yala has an established user base, a proven giving model, and a trusted brand. Chroma Pop launches into a warm Muslim community rather than cold.
A fintech giving product that rounds up everyday purchases and routes the difference to your chosen nonprofit — built on top of years of established trust rather than introduced cold.
We know the Muslim community has been let down before. We built our model around disclosure — not as an afterthought, but as the foundation.
After documented operating costs and a disclosed developer fee, every remaining dollar goes to our nonprofit partners. No hidden margins.
We publish a full disbursement report every month — org names, amounts, dates. Any user can verify their chosen organization received their attributed giving.
Every organization is a verified 501(c)(3). We check IRS determination letters and confirm active status before any org is listed or receives funds.
Yala Media Group charges a modest documented developer fee against gross revenue before calculating profit. This is standard practice — even nonprofit executives draw salaries, because sustainable organizations require sustainable people. The fee is fixed, formula-based, and never structured to artificially reduce the profit available for donation. The exact amount is published in every monthly disbursement report.
Organizations with attributed giving below $25 in a given month will have their balance accumulate until the threshold is reached. This prevents administrative costs from consuming small disbursements. All accumulated balances are disbursed in full upon any organization's departure from the platform.
Yala Media Group was founded by Ahmad, a Muslim entrepreneur and technologist based in Atlanta, Georgia. With over a decade of experience in ad technology and digital product management — including roles at Warner Bros. Discovery, IBM, and PCH — Ahmad built his career understanding exactly how digital products generate revenue at scale.
That knowledge raised a question: why hasn't anyone built a Muslim-aligned technology platform that uses this infrastructure for giving? The mechanisms that generate billions in ad revenue for tech companies are the same mechanisms that could quietly, consistently fund Islamic nonprofits — if someone built the right products around them.
Alongside his partner Lena, Ahmad also co-owns Yaba's Bagels — a New York-style bagel shop with Mediterranean influences in Dunwoody, GA. That experience reinforced what he already believed: trust is built transaction by transaction, relationship by relationship. Yala is that same philosophy applied to technology.
Start small. Be transparent. Earn trust. Build something the community can genuinely rely on.
Especially the skeptical ones.
We're building a platform where the Muslim community's everyday digital behavior quietly funds the organizations doing real work. If your organization serves the Muslim community and holds active 501(c)(3) status, we want to hear from you.
Our pilot phase is limited to a small number of partner organizations while we prove the model. We review every application personally.
