Our Global Impact in Year 1 - Support the Center for Global Muslim Life
We had been working on the launch of the Center for Global Muslim Life for the last 2 years, and somehow our launch happened to coincide with a global pandemic. We put our heads down and figured out new ways to build community online as we launched our future-oriented media production hub, research center, and cultural incubator in Ramadan of 2020.
Our goal is to build a strong Muslim identity beyond the borders that have been built around us, for us to have a deep understanding of the spiritual and social impact Muslims are making around the world, and for our communities to thrive wherever we may live.
Support the Center for Global Muslim Life today, you can support us through our fiscal sponsor, the American Muslim Community Foundation.
In our first year we have:
Hosted 50 live programs with 200 Muslim leaders and artists from around the world.
These programs have reached more than 100,000 people in 92 countries
At the end of 2020, we launched our cornerstone annual conference, The Global Muslim Social & Spiritual Impact Forum & Awards.
We launched the Global Muslim Film Festival where we featured 50 films from around the world and gave awards to films from 10 countries.
We launched the Digital Media Academy, a 5-week course with 50 curriculum components, with a goal of training 1000 people and 100 organizations in digital media production and digital strategy over the next two years.
We launched our annual Ramadan Awards program to recognize the best Ramadan content from around the world in 2020.
We hosted a 5-day conference with the Muslim Caucus and JetPac on Building an American Muslim Political Agenda for 2021 in the days leading into the election in the United States.
As Hajj was shut down this year in Mecca, we hosted the Hajj of the Hearts series over the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah with LaunchGood.
As we enter 2021:
Our goal is to hire a business development manager & creative director at the beginning of the year.
We are going to put out our first pop Research reports on the Global Muslim Film markets, and the top 50 Global Muslim Startups for 2021.
We are going to host our first Muslims in Startups & Tech Conference in March
A Conference on Global Muslim Wellness in April
We will start production on our global Ramadan short film series
And we will drop our first clothing & product line to support our film production work.
Then in May, we will host the 2nd annual Global Muslim Film Festival, inshallah with some in-person programming in different cities around the world.
We need your support to make all of this happen. Support the Center for Global Muslim Life today, you can support us through our fiscal sponsor, the American Muslim Community Foundation, or on LaunchGood.
