How We Make A Difference

There are thousands of nonprofits in the United States serving the needs of the Muslim community. They include large relief organizations, civil rights advocates, medical clinics, local community arts co-ops, and more.

While individual American Muslims are donating hundreds of millions of dollars each year, there is little overall community strategy to ensure these funds are distributed in a way that ensures all the long term needs of the community are met. That’s where the American Muslim Community Foundation comes in.

The American Muslim Community Foundation is a community foundation that aims to encourage individual donors to be strategic in their charitable-giving, so that we can provide sustainable support to nonprofits, and meet the long term goals of the American Muslim community.
