From the founder
Dear members, supporters, and friends,
As we reflect on the past year, we are filled with gratitude for the progress we have made together. The Islamic Tijaniya Foundation of America continues to be a beacon of faith, service, and unity, striving to uplift our communities through spiritual guidance, education, and humanitarian efforts.
2024 was a key year in building and expanding membership. This was achieved by showcasing the benefits of being part of the organization. ITFA Youth, a program dedicated to coaching and guiding youth, has grown significantly with the inclusion of youth in new states across America. Additionally, services provided to new immigrants have lightened the burden on the state and helped facilitate their integration into society.
One of the biggest challenges we continue to face is the lack of funding to scale up educational and social services. The donations received by ITFA are still not sufficient to cover operating expenses and the increasing needs of the community. As ITFA has grown, so too has the demand for services. For example, our food drives are still not sufficient to meet the needs of those we serve.
Community events remain central to how ITFA facilitates the integration of members. Organized in various locations, these events bring together ITFA members and the wider community to learn about culture, religion, and pathways to establishing themselves in the USA.
Looking ahead, we are determined to deepen our impact by expanding our programs, fostering interfaith dialogue, and continuing to serve with compassion and integrity. With your continued support, we will remain steadfast in our mission to promote peace, knowledge, and unity.
May Allah bless you all for your contributions and may He guide us toward even greater achievements in the coming year.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Ahmet Sy
