Will you give to this work that so many rely on?
Can you imagine an America fueled by facts where Muslims are thriving and equal? We can. And we know how to get there.
From the classroom to the courtroom, the mosque to the statehouse, ISPU’s research and education reverberates across every field. And to do that work, we count on the support of individual donors like you. Every dollar you donate goes toward relevant, rigorous research and is a step toward a country that chooses facts over fear.

This Ramadan, you invested in a future that allows vital research to make change across our communities and nation. Thank you for standing with us.
The Institute for Social Policy and Understanding is the only organization focused exclusively on conducting objective, solution-seeking research on American Muslims. And we’ve been doing it for nearly 20 years. With your support, ISPU research can positively impact millions of Americans, from school classrooms, to local mosques, to major news outlets, to the halls of Congress. In 2020 alone, we reached 23,206 people directly with original analysis and research—all through screens, beginning in March. As we enter the second year of COVID-19 and continue to learn how the pandemic disproportionately affects American Muslim communities, ISPU’s work is more urgent than ever.
We’re grateful to announce that we raised $156,000 this Ramadan, exceeding our $150,000 goal!
