Mission & Focus Areas
AMCF’s mission is to cultivate donor giving and diversified funding to advance charitable causes and programs. Its filing says it makes grants to IRS-recognized tax-exempt U.S. charities for general philanthropy, Zakat, or community pooled funding through donor-giving circles. The filing describes past grantees as including hospitals, relief organizations, museums, food banks, and educational institutions.
AMCF has announced six strategic funding areas to guide future grantmaking. The areas described on its grants page include diversity and inclusion in Muslim spaces; meeting basic needs and supporting safety, food, shelter, and well-being in the United States; and empowering Muslim civic engagement and protecting civil rights. The page says more information is forthcoming.
Examples of supported organizations illustrate the range of grantee missions: Islamic Relief USA says it provides relief and development regardless of gender, race, or religion; Medina Academy describes itself as an educational institution; and the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund describes its work as non-political humanitarian relief focused on healthcare for children in Palestine. These are the organizations’ own descriptions, not AMCF’s stated mission areas.
