About Us – Minaret Foundation

We Build Relationships

Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand if he cannot, then with his tongue. If he cannot, then with his heart – and that would be the weakest of faith.”

Our mission is simple – build relationships with faith organizations and local government for the Muslim community, by focusing on multi-faith and civic engagement.

Our vision is to see every Muslim engaged in civic society alongside our community partners as the norm.

We’ll achieve our goals by capitalizing on the diversity of our city and focusing on three areas: community, advocacy, and communications.

Since 2009, we’ve focused on building and cultivating relationships to help engage the Muslim community at multiple levels of civic society.

Learning about one another by working with each other has proven time and again to be the best way to embrace the complexities and blessings of our incredible diversity.

Inspired by traditions of bridge-building and justice in Islam, we’re committed to joining with faith communities to advocate for issues of mutual interest, and we hope you’ll join us on this journey to change our world together.

Minaret Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Our EIN, or tax ID, is 83-3372048

TOGETHER

Change Through Engagement

We believe, in order to develop long-term relationships and engage the Muslim community, we must be mission-driven and accountable. The success of our goals is measured by how well we engage our community and our partners in three areas of focus.

COMMUNITY

Listening to one another, understanding our differences and building relationships based on trust and respect.

ADVOCACY

Working together with cultural and faith-based communities and organizations on policy issues of mutual interest.

COMMUNICATIONS

Working with both social and traditional media to help portray a more accurate representation of Muslims in America.
