About American Muslim Community Foundation
The American Muslim Community Foundation (AMCF) is philanthropic infrastructure rather than a direct-service charity: it operates donor-advised funds (DAFs), giving circles, and endowments. It has moved $28M+ through 285 DAFs to 1,000+ charities — a different model that gives TO charities and helps donors organize their Zakat and Sadaqah strategically.
Where they work: US-based donors; grants to US and global Muslim-led nonprofits
