The Al-Midani Foundation concentrates its giving on humanitarian relief and services for Muslim and Middle Eastern communities, while also supporting local higher education. Most grants fund emergency and medical charity organizations (including Sudan and Southwest Asia relief), mosque/community center support in Flint, and occasional institutional gifts to the University of Michigan. The foundation favors mission-driven relief partners and a small number of recurring grantees over broad, diffuse grantmaking.
The Al-midani Foundation’s recent giving is led by large humanitarian grants to organizations serving Sudan, Southwest Asia, and Muslim communities in the United States. In 2025, its largest award in the provided record was $82,500 to Swasia Charity Foundation, followed by $65,000 to Mercy Without Limits and $30,000 to Sudan Relief Fund. Those gifts fit a clear pattern: the foundation backs relief groups that work on emergency aid, medical support, and crisis response rather than broad, multi-sector philanthropy. The same record also shows support for mosque and community institutions in Michigan, including Flint Islamic Center, alongside targeted education funding. University of Michigan appears as a recurring recipient, which suggests the foundation maintains a small set of repeated relationships while still directing most of its capital toward humanitarian organizations. The portfolio is compact, with grants commonly at mid-sized levels and several awards clustered around a few mission-aligned nonprofits. Across the recent grants listed, the foundation’s work reads as focused, relationship-based, and tied to specific communities and causes rather than diffuse general giving.
Humanitarian relief is the clearest center of the foundation’s work. It awarded $82,500 to Swasia Charity Foundation for charity work and $30,000 to Sudan Relief Fund for charity work, showing support for groups connected to crisis-response and international relief. Medical and emergency aid is another thread: $25,000 went to Medglobal for charity work, and $7,500 supported The Syrian American Medical Society for charity work. The foundation also funds Muslim community institutions in Michigan, including $30,000 to Flint Islamic Center for charity work and $2,000 to Noor Unity Center for charity work. Higher education appears as a smaller but repeated area through grants to the University of Michigan for education, including a $32,767 award in 2023 and an $18,000 award in 2025.
Typical grants cluster in the middle range, with p25 at $10,000, a median of $12,500, and p75 at $26,250. The recent record shows repeated support for some recipients across multiple years, including Swasia Charity Foundation, Mercy Without Limits, Greater Lansing Islamic, Flint Islamic Center, and the University of Michigan. That pattern points to a concentrated portfolio rather than one-off project scattering. The foundation is a private foundation, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grant record provided does not show an application process, so the giving pattern is best read through the recurring awards and mid-sized checks already on file.
