Follow us at Islamic Finance Options for Muslim Nonprofits CIC (ifomn.org). Reach out me if you'd like to get involved!
We work to create accounts for Muslim nonprofits in Islamic banks to offer stability against debanking fears. Such nonprofit accounts are almost non-existent in the UK, US, and Canada. Most Muslim nonprofits have to bank with conventional banks.
Muslim nonprofitsβespecially those working in conflict zones like Palestineβface debanking daily (bit.ly/3Yx0uSe.). Accounts closed. No explanation.
Why does it matter? These orgs are VITAL lifelines. And many canβt compromise on interest (riba)-based banking due to religious obligations.
IFOMN CIC was featured in @jbs.cam.ac.uk's piece on its Peaceshaping & Climate Incubator: In the '24 cohort, weβre working to solve a quiet crisis: Muslim nonprofits struggling to access banking due to derisking, account closures, and few Islamic finance options.
