Al-Akhtar Trust (Arabic: ثقة الأختر, romanized: Thiqat alʼkhtr) was an NGO charity based in Pakistan that was listed as a group for humanitarian aid before being banned in 2001 by Pakistan after they found the group funding terrorist organizations in Pakistan and Afghanistan which include Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.[1]

Before being designated as a terrorist organization, Jaish-e-Mohammed established Al-Akhtar Trust in Pakistan.[2]

The group mostly funded Al-Qaeda and the Taliban and its associates with food, water, and clothing for orphans of "martyrs".[3] The organization also funded terrorism in Iraq before being designated as a terrorist organization funder by the United States on October 14, 2003.[4]
