Pillars invests in opportunities to amplify the leadership, narratives, and talents of Muslims in the United States in order to advance opportunity and justice for all. Through our funding programs, campaigns and initiatives, we support a robust and growing nonprofit sector. Inspired by Muslim tradition, we aim to put an end to bigotry, discrimination, and other divisive tactics that keep our nation apart. Invigorated by the American ideal "out of many, one," we strive for unity without uniformity and a society that prospers and leads through diversity. Founded in 2011, Pillars invests in our country’s most important civic organizations working in and alongside American Muslim communities. Pillars has partnered with cause, social justice, and community-driven initiatives such as the Ford Foundation, The Chicago Community Trust, W.K Kellogg Foundation, and Open Society Foundations.
