Help Support Our Community Before The Year Ends
Assalaamu alaykum,
I hope you and your loved ones are doing well inshallah and you are getting some time to rest during this break. I'm reaching out to you this evening to see if you will continue to help our Islamic Center at NYU community do the important work that it does by making a generous contribution to the IC before the end of the year.
These last few months have been difficult for many of us, to say the least. From Gaza to Sudan, Turkey, Libya and Morocco, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and migrants and asylum seekers seeking shelter, clothing, and winter apparel in NYC, our Islamic Center has been able to provide much needed aid and relief to so many in our city and around the world. We've raised more than $4M dollars in aid just in these last few months alone alhamdulillah as the number of people coming to our events, services and programs continues to go up each week. Jummah is filled every Friday, halaqas are attended by so many, and guest speakers are coming in regularly to address rooms packed to the brim. We've received numerous awards and accolades, been featured in major media regularly, and continue to impact thousands through social media. None of this would be possible without your support.
Our operations and programs run completely off of donations from our community and we have raised a lot less than what we normally would by this time of the year. I'm reaching out to see if you would make a contribution to us before 2023 ends and encourage others to do so as well.
You can make a tax-deductible contribution online today by clicking here and can make it a recurring gift (monthly, quarterly or annually) or donate in other ways like gifts of stocks/securities and more. You can find info on the different ways you can give to the IC by clicking here.
NYU also is able to receive corporate gift matches from companies. As our Islamic Center falls under NYU's non-profit status, your gift can be multiplied in its impact by adding a corporate gift match to it. To find out if a company has a matching gift program, please enter your employer's name at https://www.matchinggifts.com/nyu/.
If you are interested in other methods of donating, or if it's helpful for us to discuss over the phone or via zoom, please let me know and we'll figure out a time to speak accordingly.
Barakallahu feekum. Thank you again for your continued support. Please keep our entire IC community in your prayers. You and your loved ones will be in mine, as always. May Allah accept from all of us. Ameen.
