Ideal Applicant
A regional faith-based nonprofit or community service organization, particularly those providing religious education or relief/welfare services, with local New York ties or demonstrated alignment with Islamic charitable and educational priorities.
Good Fit
- • Programs in religious education, mosque/community services, or relief and welfare work.
- • Organizational presence or partners in New York or nearby states.
- • Capacity to receive mid-sized gifts (typical grants range from about $10K–$50K).
- • Existing relationships or referrals within Muslim community networks.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached five states but were weighted toward New York, which received about 55% of the dollars; footprint is multi-state but regionally concentrated.
Recipient Variety
Thirteen distinct recipients were funded in 2024 (and 15 in 2023), with a mix of returning grantees and new entrants, indicating a comparatively broad recipient set for this funder’s size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants exists (6 new recipients in 2024), which suggests new organizations can enter the portfolio, but no formal application process is published so access likely relies on outreach, referrals, or informal channels.
