    Hello,

    I coordinate my church’s (the Unitarian Universalist Church of Indianapolis) monthly Share the Plate program in which 1/2 of our plate offerings are designated to a local organization each month. The contributions range between $400-$800 and just depends on attendance during the month. We selected the Muslim Alliance of Indiana for July because we wanted to support your mission and programs.

    Would it be possible for a representative to attend on our services in July to introduce the organization during the service and answer questions during the social hour? Our Sunday services begin at 10:30 am and the Social Hour typically wraps up around noon. We’ve found that organizations which are able to send a representative tend to receive more donations and often are able to make other meaningful connections with our congregation.

    This is the information we’ll be sharing about the Muslim Alliance of Indiana each week:

    https://www.indianamuslims.org/

    The Muslim Alliance of Indiana envisions a future in which thriving and integrated Hoosier Muslims serve their broader communities and the state, and in which they are considered as an indispensable component of Indiana’s political, economic, religious and social fabrics. It also works towards building a broad Hoosier Muslim community that is strong in its diversity, inclusive, and is capable of effective collective action to preserve its civil rights and liberties, along with those of other vulnerable groups.

    Thank you,
    Stacy
