From 2007 to Today: 18 Years of Bold, Compassionate Faith
We’re turning 18!
For nearly two decades, Muslims for Progressive Values has championed an Islam rooted in human rights, inclusion, and justice.
We invite you to watch this video from our founder and President, Ani Zonneveld, as she honors this day, not just by looking back at the past, but by celebrating all that we have to look forward to in our future, starting with grants for Muslims in the entertainment industry.
As we step into the adult chapter of our life, we need your support to keep growing the grants we give. Check out the arts projects we've funded over the years, here. Make a birthday gift today to ensure we're here for the next 18 years and beyond.
With gratitude,
The Muslims for Progressive Values' Team
