…Americans have benefited from the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding’s (ISPU) critical research. ISPU’s impact is undeniable. Members of Congress, business leaders, educators, journalists, faith leaders, and Muslim community leaders depend on ISPU to provide quality analysis and data in challenging times. And that’s something we want to celebrate with YOU!
2022 marks our 20th anniversary and thanks to YOU, we’ve succeeded together to advance our vision of an America where Muslims are thriving and equal.
With you by our side, ISPU will catalyze and scale our impact over the next 20 years as the go-to source for reliable, actionable research for and about American Muslims.

WHAT’S COMING NEXT?
From this solid foundation our strategic goal is to catalyze and scale our impact over the next 20 years as the go-to source for reliable, actionable research for and about American Muslims. The prevalence of misinformation and fake news makes it infinitely more challenging to ensure that policies that are made on behalf of all Americans are objective and unbiased.
ISPU’s Theory of Change ensures that objective information and research on American Muslims is shared broadly with the public and directly with leaders, allowing them to make well-informed decisions and leading to policies, programs, and perceptions based on facts.
ISPU will:
DISCOVER
Discover new insights, information, and issues facing American Muslims to build community within American Muslims as well as build understanding of American Muslims alongside all Americans.
EDUCATE & EQUIP
Educate and equip the nation as a whole with our research and work – expanding beyond our strongholds of Michigan and Washington, DC.
LIFT UP
Lift up scholarship and research from both inside and outside the ISPU network with a heightened focus on growing the next generation of leaders and amplifying their voices.
