This study aims to analyze the effect of productive zakat utilization and mentoring on the economic independence of persons with disabilities in the empowerment program implemented by BAZNAS Banyumas Regency. The study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory design. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 50 beneficiaries of productive zakat with disabilities, selected using purposive sampling. The instrument used a Likert scale and was tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS. The results show that productive zakat utilization and mentoring have a positive and significant effect on the economic independence of persons with disabilities. Simultaneously, both variables significantly influence economic independence with an R² value of 0.53, indicating that 53% of the variation in economic independence is explained by the two variables. The study concludes that optimizing productive zakat, accompanied by continuous mentoring can enhance the economic independence of persons with disabilities.
