Mercy of Adam Inc concentrates its giving on Muslim-led community organizations and international humanitarian relief, especially organizations serving Syrian refugees and Muslim communities. Grants are directed to both local New England groups and US-based international aid partners, suggesting a blend of local religious community support and overseas emergency/relief funding. The foundation prefers a small number of sizable contributions rather than many small grants.
Concentrated giving: a few large unrestricted contributions to faith-based and international relief organizations, split between local/regional Muslim community groups and US-based humanitarian partners.
Mercy of Adam Inc’s largest recent grant went to Together Organization, a $71,176 contribution in 2024. That single award points to the foundation’s pattern: a small number of relatively large grants, often directed to Muslim-led organizations and relief groups. The next-largest gifts in the recent record went to Muslim Society of Ri in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, at $60,000 in 2023, and Human Appeal USA in Mission Viejo, California, at $35,000 in 2024, showing attention to both community institutions and humanitarian aid partners. The foundation’s giving also reaches organizations tied to Syrian relief and Muslim communities. Syrian Forum USA received $25,000 in 2023, while other support went to mosque and Islamic society programs in New England, including Masjid Al Islam in North Smithfield, Rhode Island, and Islamic Society of Boston in Roxbury, Massachusetts. Recent grants also include Baitulmaal Inc, Syrian American Medical Society, and The Associations of Arab Muslims in America. Taken together, the record shows a funder that combines local religious community support with international relief-oriented work, all within a national grantmaking footprint.
Mercy of Adam Inc supports a mix of religious institutions and humanitarian organizations. In New England, it gave $10,000 to Cair Massachusetts in Boston and $10,000 to Islamic Society of Boston in Roxbury in 2024, alongside $4,000 to Al-noor Academy Inc in Mansfield in 2023. Those grants point to steady support for Muslim community infrastructure and education-related institutions. The foundation also funds relief groups with international or refugee-related missions. It gave $35,000 to Human Appeal USA in Mission Viejo in 2024 and $25,000 to Syrian Forum USA in Westmont in 2023. Smaller grants to Baitulmaal Inc in Irving and Syrian American Medical Society in Washington, DC further show an interest in emergency aid and Syrian humanitarian work. Community organizations outside Massachusetts and Rhode Island also appear in the record, including Muslim Society of Ri in Pawtucket and Masjid Al Islam in North Smithfield.
Mercy of Adam Inc gives in the mid-thousands to low tens of thousands, with a p25 of $4,250, a median grant of $7,500, and a p75 of $21,250. The recent record includes a few large awards above that range, but most grants cluster around smaller operating-level support rather than very large institutional funding. The pattern also suggests repeat support to some organizations. Islamic Society of Boston appears twice in the recent grants list, with awards in 2024 and 2023, indicating at least some recurring relationships rather than one-off giving only. The foundation is classified as a Regular Funder, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
