Inspired Generosity: Uplifting Overlooked Stories in Muslim American Philanthropy

Dilnaz Waraich's fellowship with the National Center for Family Philanthropy ended earlier this month, but she's not done yet.

That's because she's still working on a project called Inspired Generosity, which aims to shine a light on acts of kindness by Muslims in the US, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The multimedia showcase, which debuted Sept.

17 at Atlanta's Auburn Avenue Research Library, is part of a larger effort by the Center for Family Philanthropy and the Community Foundation of Atlanta to push back against what Waraich calls "the negative images of Islam and Muslims that are so dominant in the US."

One of the stories featured in the multimedia showcase is "The Black Iftar," which is about fasting during the month of Ramadan that started in 2018.

"The Community Foundation recognizes the power of the Inspired Generosity showcase in bridging communities and fostering dialogue," says Cynthia Padilla Pearson, program officer at the Foundation, who supports the work of interfaith organizations through the Foundation's TogetherATL Fund.

"It's an invaluable platform for creating lasting change."
