The El-hibri Foundation Grant

The El-Hibri Foundation (EHF) is a U.S.-based philanthropic organization focused on building a more inclusive society by supporting nonprofit organizations that advance the inclusion of American Muslim communities. EHF’s vision is rooted in the belief that inclusive, thriving communities are the foundation of the American Dream and that American Muslim communities, which often face systemic under-resourcing and unique challenges, can be more effective in promoting societal inclusion when they are adequately supported. Through its grantmaking, EHF seeks to build the capacity and effectiveness of these organizations while also encouraging broader collaborative efforts that support a more equitable society. The foundation offers funding primarily to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that are publicly funded and registered in the United States. EHF supports programs and projects that demonstrate the ability to advance one or more of its three core priority areas: advancing inclusion of American Muslim communities, building organizational capacity, and organizing communities through collective action. Activities may include leadership development, organizational training, coalition building, or community organizing—so long as they align with these strategic aims. While the foundation generally focuses on projects with national impact, exceptions are considered for initiatives with strong potential for scalable impact beyond the local level. Funding may be used for non-capital expenditures that align with the foundation’s priorities. The foundation does not support capital projects such as building maintenance, nor does it fund political campaigning, legislative lobbying, or regranting efforts. All proposed activities must take place primarily within the United States. The typical grant performance period is expected to last no more than 12 months. Organizations are encouraged to design programs that are achievable within this time frame. Additionally, only one application is accepted per grant cycle per organization, with limited exceptions made for large institutions like universities, which may apply separately by department or program. Applications that propose to improve nonprofit performance, strengthen sector capacity, and advance inclusion efforts that focus on American Muslim communities are given priority. While no specific submission deadlines or award amounts are disclosed in the provided materials, interested applicants are encouraged to consult the foundation’s full eligibility criteria and application details through their official website.
