Support the Fellows Who Lead

Every Friday, across hundreds of cities and towns in the United States and Canada, Muslim religious leaders stand before their communities. They prepare sermons. They counsel the grieving. They teach the young. They guide the lost. They represent Islam in an era that demands both scholarship and courage.

They do most of this without the professional infrastructure that every other learned profession takes for granted.

NAIF is changing that. We fund professional development programmes, a national peer network, and advocacy for the professional rights of imams across North America. We are the institution that stands behind the leaders who stand before their communities.

Your gift makes this possible.
