 Strengthen the systems that power Muslim philanthropy.


Why This Matters

Behind Every Grant, There’s a System You Help Build

Every dollar of charitable giving relies on something bigger than just the donation—it relies on infrastructure. At the American Muslim Community Foundation, we believe that smart giving starts with smart systems. That’s why we’re asking you to invest in impact by supporting the backbone of our work.

Your unrestricted support fuels donor advising, nonprofit compliance, endowment services, and the coordination that keeps giving circles strong. These are the systems that move millions of dollars to hundreds of Muslim-led nonprofits each year.

This isn’t overhead – It’s the heart of Muslim philanthropy.

💜 Help us keep the mission moving—by investing in what makes it possible.

While project-based giving is important, it’s the unrestricted dollars that help us keep the lights on—literally and metaphorically. These gifts enable AMCF to respond quickly to community needs, support innovation, and maintain compliance, security, and strategy across all programs. When you invest in impact, you make sure every grant, endowment, and giving circle can go further, faster.
