The Organization reviews income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns to determine if there are any income tax uncertainties. This includes positions that the entity is exempt from income taxes or not subject to income taxes on unrelated business income. The Organization recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the positions. The Organization has identified no significant income tax uncertainties. The Organization files information returns as a tax-exempt organization. Should that status be challenged in the future, all years since inception could be subject to review by the IRS. true ACTION CENTER ON RACE 1901 W CARROLL AVE 3RD FLR CHICAGO IL 60612 821199695 50000 0 Program Support Allied Media Projects 4126 3RD STREET Detroit MI 48201 010559608 100000 0 Program Support American Muslim Adv Council 2195 Nolensville Pike Nashville TN 37211 364720454 20000 0 Program Support American Muslim Health Prof 2118 Plum Grove Road 201 Rolling Meadows IL 60008 711013651 25000 0 Program Support Asian American Jou 1301 K St NW Ste 300w Washington DC 20005 953755203 10000 0 Program Support Black Muslim Leadership Counc 287 Lawndale Avenue King of Prussia PA 19406 991467008 10000 0 Program Support Blue Tin Production LLC 2501 W 103rd Street Chicago IL 60655 843133322 25000 0 Program Support Columbia University 615 W 131st St New York City NY 10027 135598093 10000 0 Program Support Community Initiatives 1000 Broadway Suite 480 Oakland CA 94607 943255070 10000 0 Program Support Community Partners 1000 N Alameda St Suite 240 Los Angeles CA 90012 954302067 50000 0 Program Support CUNY School of Law 2 COURT SQUARE Long Island NY 11101 113235349 125000 0 Program Support Defending Rights and Dissent 1325 G St NW Suite 500 Washington DC 20005 270042821 135000 0 Program Support Detroit Revival Engaging Mus PO Box 38152 Detroit MI 48238 464246696 145000 0 Program Support Emgage Foundation Inc 1140 3RD STREET NE 2ND FLR Washington DC 20002 261441032 25000 0 Program Support Faith In Action Network 999 N CAPITOL STREET NE 200 Washington DC 20002 942206497 50000 0 Program Support Georgia Muslim Voter Project 4745 BRAMBLE ROSE LN SUWANNE GA 30024 811446781 125000 0 Program Support Huron University Found 2607 PALM AVE MANHATTAN BEACH CA 90266 208179397 25000 0 Program Support IL Muslim Civic Coalition 2425 W 22ND STREET Oak Brook IL 60523 832647003 50000 0 Program Support Inner City Muslim Action Net 2744 W 63RD STREET Chicago IL 60629 364167433 155000 0 Program Support Institute for Social Policy 6 Parklane Blvd Suite 510 Dearborn MI 48126 383633581 130000 0 Program Support INTL Council for Refugees 7315 Maple St Omaha NE 68134 271544492 20000 0 Program Support INTL MUSEUM MUSLIM CULTURES 201 E PASCAGOULA Jackson MS 39211 364495799 50000 0 Program Support Maine Peoples Resource Cente 565 Congress St Ste 200 Portland ME 04101 222586108 25000 0 Program Support Malikah 2117 Broadway PO Box 6347 Astoria NY 11106 471277862 30000 0 Program Support Maristan 39370 Zacate Ave Fremont CA 94539 471863760 30000 0 Program Support MSA West 2854 N Santiago Blvd Ste 100 Orange CA 92867 465478214 60000 0 Program Support Muslim Anti-Racism Collab 8780 19th Street 291 Alta Loma CA 91701 472444781 100000 0 Program Support Muslim Campus Life 28 Church St Ste 14 5249 Winchester MA 01890 994828190 25000 0 Program Support Muslim Community Network Inc 239 Thompson St New York NY 10012 753163555 20000 0 Program Support Muslim Wellness Foundation 7433 LIMEKILN PIKE 204 Philadelphia PA 19138 472533025 135000 0 Program Support National Immigration Project 2201 Wisconsin Ave NW 200 Washington DC 20007 952926663 25000 0 Program Support National Pship for New Amer 1805 S Ashland Avenue Chicago IL 60608 453419142 25000 0 Program Support NEO Philanthropy Inc 45 W 36TH STREET 6TH FLOOR New York NY 10018 133191113 50000 0 Program Support New American Leaders Inc 30 West 26th Street 10th FL New York NY 10010 043519203 75000 0 Program Support Pillars of the Community 6403 IMPERIAL AVENUE SAN DIEGO CA 92114 452323183 100000 0 Program Support Project South 9 GAMMON AVE SE Atlanta GA 30315 581956686 50000 0 Program Support Reviving Islamic Sisterhood 1007 W BROADWAY AVE Minneapolis MN 55411 811236990 50000 0 Program Support The Appellate Project 1835 7th St NW 194 Washington DC 20001 843852810 50000 0 Program Support The BOT Leland Stanford 326 Galvez St Stanford CA 94305 941156365 50000 0 Program Support Tides Center 1014 Torney Ave San Francisco CA 94129 943213100 65000 0 Program Support UC Regents 1855 Folsom St Ste 425 San Francisco CA 94103 946036493 25000 0 Program Support US Campaign for Palestinian PO Box 3609 Washington DC 20027 421636592 10000 0 Program Support WESPAC Foundation Inc 77 Tarrytown Road Ste 2W White Plains NY 10607 133109400 10000 0 Program Support Women Make Movies Inc 115 West 29th Street New York NY 10001 132740460 50000 0 Program Support YUSRA 6795 E Calle La Paz Unit 1010 Tucson AZ 85715 993849019 20000 0 Program Support 44 1 Grants and Scholarships 48 284988 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used The organization monitors recipients of grant funds.
