The results of the study found that there are several excellent programs initiated by the ACT Foundation in helping communities affected by the Covid-19 virus, including food security programs that not only help people get their food needs in the pandemic era but also create job opportunities for laid-off victims or laid-off employees. ACT also presents a business capital waqf program which is implemented in several actions, namely Sahabat Usaha Mikro Indonesia, Wakaf Modal Usaha Mikro and Wakaf Modal Produktif which aims to help small business actors to rise amidst the downturn due to the Covid-19 outbreak.  Keywords: Optimization, ZISWAF, ACT, Covid-19
