Islamic Relief USA provides relief and development in a dignified manner regardless of gender, race, or religion, and works to empower individuals in their communities and give them a voice in the world.
A defining feature of Islamic Relief USA’s recent giving is its large-scale support for refugee reception and placement, paired with major investments in community-based health, food access, and emergency response. In 2025, the foundation awarded $1,497,378 to Dar Al-hijrah Islamic Center for Pathway to Empowerment, one of several high-value partnerships built around direct service delivery and community support. The pattern continues with sizable grants to Hanan Refugees Relief Group for programs reception and placement and to Muslim American Social Services Inc for the same purpose, showing sustained attention to newly arrived families and resettlement services. The foundation also funds Muslim-serving organizations and broader community agencies working on hot meals, clinics, mental health, and family services. Grants to Islamic Center of Detroit Inc for hot meals, Shifa Healthcare & Community Services USA Inc for Healthy Healing, Texas, and Khalil Foundation for an online mental health program point to a practical service model: support organizations already delivering aid on the ground. Islamic Relief USA gives nationally and its recent portfolio reflects that national reach through local partners in multiple states.
Refugee reception and placement is one of the clearest throughlines in Islamic Relief USA’s grantmaking. The foundation gave $1,199,382 to Hanan Refugees Relief Group for programs reception and placement and $715,028 to Muslim American Social Services Inc for the same purpose, indicating repeated support for direct resettlement services. Food aid is another major area. Islamic Relief USA awarded $564,572 to Zienna Loraine Inc for hot meals distribution and $480,000 to Islamic Center of Detroit Inc for the Hot Meals Project in the City of Detroit, showing a focus on immediate food access. Health-related grants include $520,875 to Shifa Healthcare & Community Services USA Inc for Healthy Healing, Texas, Shifa Healthcare & Community Services USA and $520,875 to Khalil Foundation for the KC Online Mental Health Program. The foundation also supports community health expansion through grants such as $217,000 to Muslim American Society of Charlotte for Shifa Free Clinic to expand free healthcare in the Charlott.
Typical grants cluster tightly around five figures, with a p25 of $11,062, a median of $12,519, and a p75 of $25,000. The recent-gifts list also shows a smaller number of large strategic awards that reach into the six- and seven-figure range. Islamic Relief USA is a regular funder with national scope, and its grantmaking appears to combine routine program support with larger partnership grants and campaign funding. The 2025 and 2024 records show repeated support for the same service models across multiple awards, especially refugee services, hot meals, and health programs.

Yes. The recent records show multiple awards to the same groups across years and within 2025, including Dar Al-hijrah Islamic Center, Muslim American Social Services Inc, Islamic Center of Detroit Inc, and Hanan Refugees Relief Group. That suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off support.
