The Date Project

What's in the box: A gift tin of premium dates, such as Medjool or Ajwa, with profits directed to a named cause.

The Date Project is a UK gifting brand, not a true subscription. It sells tins of dates, mainly for Ramadan and Eid, and says 100% of its profits go to charitable causes. It began in 2015 with a £10 box sold to fund a bakery in Syria, and that price point remains. The 2026 collection lists tins named Dates for Palestine, Dates for Syria, Dates for Orphans, Dates for Charity and Premium Ajwa, each at £10. There is also a premium organic Ajwa gift box for anyone wanting a more formal present. Its charity partner is One Nation, a UK relief and development charity that says it operates a 100% donation policy. The shop also takes direct donations, from £5 to provide a box of dates for others up to larger gifts toward Gaza emergency aid and a Yemen water tank. Orders are stated to arrive within 7 working days, so order early if you want tins in hand before the first iftar. The site does not offer a recurring plan, and its main page gives little detail on tin size or where the dates are grown, so check product pages before buying in bulk. For shoppers who want a modest, affordable Ramadan gift with a clear charitable purpose, it is a sensible choice.
