Goal: $50,000

Dear supporters,

As salaam alaykum. I pray this letter finds you as well as can be. It has been a challenging year for American Muslims and our community all around the world. Our community needs to continue to put resources behind political organizing and institutionally fund strategic causes until we see a shift in narrative around who Muslims are globally.

What gives me hope is AMCF’s work around the generosity of American Muslims. Each day, AMCF contributes to a handful of nonprofit organizations. Since 2017, that has translated into $20.6 million being distributed to 900 institutions support educational, housing, food, health, civil rights, media, and religious efforts here in the United States along with international relief efforts. I’m reminded of what the Quran and Sunnah call us to do, to give of what we have attained, to help others.

In introducing our year end campaign theme, “Planting the Seeds for Your Legacy”, AMCF invites you to consider how you are building towards the future you want to see. Here are a few ways in which you can continue that journey:

    • Watch our Annual Symposium & Muslim Philanthropy Awards: amuslimcf.vfairs.com
        1. Hear from Estate Lawyer Amina Saeed and Scholar Ubaydallah Evans

     

    • Learn more about Donor Advised Funds and use one for your family: amuslimcf.org/dafs
        1. Consolidate your giving and allow it to grow

     

    • Encourage your favorite nonprofits to open an Endowment: amuslimcf.org/endowments
        1. Create more sustainable organizations

     

    • Support the Collaborative Fund for Palestine: amuslimcf.org/Palestine
        1. Engage in our advocacy efforts and distributing over $750,000

     

    • Contribute to AMCF: amuslimcf.org/donate (or below) & help us utilize a $50,000 match
        1. Your donation will help us strengthen the donor and nonprofit ecosystem

    Lastly, share our work with your community, invite us to your local mosque or organization to talk on why Muslim Philanthropy must create the world we want to live in. You are part of our success story, and with Allah’s Grace, we will only be as great as you allow us to be.

    At your service,
