Waqf is one of the effective means of Infaq (charity) that plays an essential role in the reallocation of resources in Islam, since it was introduced by Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him). The aim of this study is to examine the determinants of waqf Philanthropy participation in Kano Metropolis. The study employed causal research design; it has a sample size of 323of respondents out of a 200, 000 target population. Ordinal Probit and Logit was employed to test the hypothesized model of the study. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package of the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 22.0. The study adopted the theory of Planned Behavior and the Hierarchy of Effect theory. The study reveals that convenience, perception and trust in Awqf institutions have a significant influence on waqf Philanthropy participation while awareness does not significantly influence in Kano Metropolis. The study recommended that Kano Zakah and Hubus (Waqf) in conjunction with the Council of Ulama and Jumaat Mosque Imams should enlighten the Kano ummah to ensure that their perception concerning waqf Philanthropy is improved. The study also suggests the introduction of a more convenient mode of participation, considering the nature of respondents’ income.
