The Muslim Network

What The Muslim Network does

The Muslim Network (TMN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 47-5390042) headquartered at 388 Lakeview Avenue in Clifton, New Jersey, operating under the tagline 'One Community. One Voice. One Muslim Network.' Founded in 2015 and formally incorporated around 2017, the organization convenes New Jersey's Muslim communities across five stated inclusion dimensions — racial, gender, disability, convert, and generational — through educational trainings, action-oriented workshops, working groups, social gatherings, and a community news publication. Its stated addressable ecosystem includes 140+ masjids, 20+ Islamic schools, and 50+ Muslim nonprofits across a New Jersey Muslim population exceeding 350,000, and it is staffed by a small team of 7 employees and director-level volunteers.

TMN has no proprietary technology product. Its service delivery rests on direct community programming (trainings, workshops, working groups, events such as 'Accessibility in Action'), content publishing on a Squarespace-hosted website (themuslimnetwork.org), an email newsletter, and organic social media presence on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. The organization's primary intellectual output is a three-year Community Needs Assessment Report on NJ Muslim subgroups, spearheaded by Director of Strategy Amal Abukwaik and released in 2020. Operational infrastructure includes a formally launched Volunteer Network (with 150+ documented hours) and a digital Palestine Resources hub.

TMN's revenue model is donations and charitable contributions, supplemented by fundraising campaigns (a first virtual fundraiser in December 2020 raised $6,000) and discrete grants (e.g., $20,000 each from MCJ Amelior Foundation and PSEG Foundation for a West Side High School laundry initiative). No fees are charged for programs or content. The go-to-market motion is community-led: TMN works through 'changemakers' — active community members, influencers, leaders, and organizers — and partner organizations such as CAIR-NJ, ICNA Relief, Yaqeen Institute, Muslim Anti-Racist Collaborative, New Jersey Muslim Voices for Progress, and the Cherry Hill Free Clinic at GCLEA mosque, rather than through a traditional sales channel.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Islamic Society of North America (ISNA): ISNA is one of the largest umbrella Muslim organizations in North America, with member masjids and a broad community-services portfolio. It represents a broad-incumbent peer to TMN's mosque-coordination and community-building work, operating at vastly greater national scale.
• ICNA Relief USA: ICNA Relief is a large, established Muslim humanitarian organization that partnered with TMN during COVID-19 relief. It is a broad incumbent offering overlapping community services (food distribution, relief kits) at significantly greater national scale, but with less of an explicit inclusion/community-building mission.
• American Muslims for Palestine: AMP is a national advocacy organization on Palestinian rights that has partnered with TMN on solidarity statements. While not a direct inclusion/community-building peer, its advocacy mission and Muslim-constituency focus make it a comparable organization in the broader NJ Muslim ecosystem.
• Islamic Relief USA: Islamic Relief USA is a large national Muslim humanitarian organization that addresses poverty and disaster relief, partially overlapping with TMN's community service work. It is a much larger, well-funded incumbent operating a similar faith-rooted community-services model across the U.S.

Direct peers

• New Jersey Muslim Voices for Progress (NJMVP): NJMVP is a coalition of 100+ NJ Muslim organizations working to integrate Muslims into NJ civic life. It is highly comparable to TMN in both geography and convening mission, and represents the most direct peer at the NJ state-coalition level.
• Muslim Anti-Racist Collaborative (MuslimARC): MuslimARC is a national organization focused on anti-racism work within Muslim communities, with whom TMN has co-hosted anti-racism training for 30+ organizations. The two share a direct programmatic overlap on the racial-inclusion pillar of TMN's five-pillar framework.
• Wafa House: Wafa House is a NJ-based Muslim domestic violence and family-services agency partnered with TMN on gender-related inclusion programming. It is a direct peer in geographic and mission terms, both serving NJ Muslim communities with a social-services focus.
• CAIR-NJ (Council on American-Islamic Relations - New Jersey): CAIR-NJ is a New Jersey-based Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization that TMN has co-led coalition efforts with. Both organizations operate NJ-focused programs to serve and protect Muslim communities, with overlapping goals around inclusion, anti-discrimination, and community empowerment.

Emerging players

• MPower Change: MPower Change is a U.S. Muslim social justice organization focused on racial justice, inclusion, and community empowerment, making it a close thematic peer to TMN's inclusion work. It operates at a national level with a younger, digitally-led model, paralleling TMN's community-led approach.
• Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research: Yaqeen Institute is an Islamic educational content provider partnered with TMN for Ramadan programming. It is comparable to TMN in its faith-rooted community-education mission but operates at national scale with a research-and-publication model rather than grassroots organizing.
