If you're considering a cause in the blessed month just days away (can you believe it?), why not consider the Islamic Center at New York University? We have a number of giving options, all tax-deductible (as we are an institution at NYU), including one-time gifts, matching gifts, annual giving and monthly giving (in the latter, your credit card is automatically charged each month), each of which can be conveniently accessed through our donations page. Please tell friends and family as well. Any and every donation is appreciated, if even you can give $10/month.
Beginning Monday, August 24th, the Islamic Center will provide free iftar dinners open to the public. This is not just a student club; we cater to a large community of alumni, young professionals, Muslims working and living in the area, and so on. We encourage anyone in the area, who doesn't want to eat alone every night of Ramadan, to visit and become part of our community. Keep in mind we are conveniently located near the West 4th (A, B, C, D, F, V, A, E) and Christopher St (1) stops -- and not far from the 8th Avenue W/R train: Daily iftars will take place where jumu'ah takes place, our regular prayer and activity space: St. Joseph's Church, 371 6th Avenue. (More information. Directions.)
Invite friends, family, co-workers: You can bring your social circle to the Islamic Center. We'd love to see you.
Additionally, please mark your calendars for the Thursday, September 17th Fast-a-Thon: Silence Hurts. This year, we are dedicating all monies raised to Turning Point for Women and Families. To find out more, and to RSVP, visit the event page. The event is free and open to the public, although you must RSVP and we only suggest a $20 donation per person (but no one will be turned away who cannot pay.) Last year, we had over 400 attendees. It's a wonderful occasion, and a truly crucial cause.
