Our work goes beyond funding. We believe in the power of shared experiences to inspire transformative change. By connecting funders, nonprofits, and researchers, we forge partnerships for community-driven solutions and build bridges between diverse stakeholders to promote our shared values. At the heart of our work is a faith that calls us to share our resources for the sake of others.
Our story is rooted in many generations of giving back. From our early days as immigrants sacrificing to help those in need back home, to gathering around the kitchen table today to discuss making a difference, community has been central to our family.
The WF Fund seeks to empower people, convene diverse partners, develop leaders, and invest in building stronger communities. We envision a country where Muslim Americans can thrive as equal members of society. This drive for impact comes from our shared urgency to address society’s most pressing issues and our belief that true change requires open collaboration.
