20th Anniversary

Since our founding in 2002…

…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.

Looking Back On 20 Years

Highlights over the years:

  • Reached hundreds of thousands of Americans with research and education on issues impacting American Muslims
  • Created a body of leading scholarship through the publication of thousands of reports, infographics, videos, op-ed pieces, and other original works of research
  • Informed Americans on policy positions and opinions of American Muslims and other faith groups through ISPU’s groundbreaking American Muslim Poll
  • Trained hundreds of educators and journalists on using our research and recommendations in classrooms and media outlets across the nation
  • Built a rich network of scholars over two decades who inform, influence, and expand the sphere of scholarship and research on dozens of subjects impacting the lives of 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.
