Wishing you and your family a blessed and happy holiday! May your Eid be filled with joy, love, and laughter. May you and your family continue to benefit from the lessons of Ramadan and enjoy health and happiness through the rest of the year.

We also want to take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support for ING, especially those of you who responded to our emails asking for your help during the month of Ramadan. This year, we raised three times the amount that we have raised during the same period in prior years. So thank you, and may God bless you and reward you multifold in your career, family, and children.

Education and interreligious engagement effectively work to dispel stereotypes and prevent discrimination. Only by working together and with our allies can we help create a more tolerant and equitable America for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

– From all of us at ING, a very happy Eid!

If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, please
join us this fall at our Supporters’ Dinners.
Registration is now open.

We’re incredibly excited to bring to the Bay Area some of the nation’s premier thought leaders and changemakers who are working to counter extremist narratives about American Muslims. Each event will address a different strategy and is located in a different region to make it convenient for all of you to attend.

There will be no fundraising at these events, but you will hear from me and other staff on the organization’s progress in our programs and endowment.

Registration is now open, and the cost covers only our costs for the reception and dinner.

We hope you will join us for an intellectually stimulating and entertaining evening.

Please consider purchasing a table and inviting your family and friends whom you want to introduce to ING.
