Your role

 
Here's what you can do:
As we work together to keep our community healthy and safe, we ask you to support the Islamic Center today with your generous donation in order to sustain our ongoing programs and services.

At a time when our collection box isn't being circulated on Fridays and Sundays (our busiest days), we ask that you dig deep to give what you can. Last week, we fell shy of our weekly fundraising target, but you can help us close the gap. 
 
Now there's a higher tax incentive to give
 
The CARES Act raises the charitable deduction limit from 60 percent to 100 percent of adjusted gross income for itemizers, and non-itemizers can now deduct up to $300 in charitable giving. C-Corporations can also deduct 25 percent of their taxable income, rather than 10 percent. Talk to your tax advisor about what that means for you.

Would you be willing to make a monthly gift towards cultivating community during these challenging times?

Next steps

Here's what we're doing next: 
  • Launching a Ramadan space on our website, stay tuned!
  • Setting up opportunities to involve children in our virtual Ramadan programs.
  • Sponsoring groceries for local community members in need of assistance and expanding our Food Pantry.
  • Continuing to find new ways to upgrade our Livestreaming capabilities and adding more programs.

Support
Please be as generous as you can. Your monthly gift—whether it's $25, $75, or $500—will help us cover our operating costs during these challenging times.
