The World Congress of Muslim Philanthropists (WCMP) is the premier community of individual donors and foundations of Muslim heritage, established to promote informed and effective giving.

The World Congress of Muslim Philanthropists is a not-for-profit initiative which provides knowledge, resources and networking opportunities to people who have the will to make a difference. WCMP works in partnership with the global community of donors and grant-making institutions to mobilize financial and human resources to advance the common good.

Today, there are an estimated 1.6 billion Muslims, 24% of the world’s population, a potentially enormous resource base for grantmaking institutions and non-governmental organizations to attend human needs.

Muslim philanthropy is at a crossroad, building new models of giving while simultaneously refining old methods embedded in a vibrant Islamic tradition. The necessity to effectively harness resources in order to make the greatest impact is compelling. WCMP, therefore works toward building and promoting strategies to respond to this unprecedented opportunity, accepting its share of responsibility for completion of this work, as well as encouraging and supporting others that can contribute to this endeavor.
