About this grant

This grant will provide support to Metro Industrial Areas Foundation to lead and supervise a project in Chicago and other cities where Muslim leadership in community organizing is being developed. This effort is expected to contribute to the development of the Industrial Areas Foundation affiliates, as well as to the growth and development of the participating Islamic institutions. The grantee will continue to implement a curriculum of training, expanding the recruitment of a new generation of Muslim and other organizers committed to working in an interfaith environment.
