A small-to-mid sized faith-based or community nonprofit (often mosque, scholarship fund, or Islamic education organization) operating in Illinois or serving Illinois communities, seeking project grants in the $10K–$25K range.
Good Fit
- • Project is mosque support, scholarships, or Islamic education research.

Geography
Giving is concentrated in Illinois (79% of 2024 dollars) with a smaller out-of-state presence (Texas), indicating a state-level focus rather than a national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows seven distinct independent recipients (and six new entrants), indicating a moderate spread of beneficiaries rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows substantial entry by new grantees in 2024 (six new recipients), and the funder supports multiple independent organizations; while no formal application was found, the pattern indicates unfamiliar applicants have been able to access funding.
