Together, Let’s Build the Future of Faith-driven Social Impact
We empower British Muslim leaders to shape a fairer, more prosperous society through strategic funding, expert guidance, and long-term partnership.
Our Impact
We help Muslim-led ventures move from survival to strength. By combining patient funding with strategic support, FIG transforms good initiatives into great organisations serving their communities with excellence.
Our ventures span mental health, education, media, and youth development. We build strong systems, scale reach, and nurture leaders through our different programmes. Together, they’re shaping a stronger future: improving public understanding of Islam, raising socioeconomic wellbeing, and deepening spiritual resilience across Britain. And we’re just getting started.

Our Strategic Themes
We support ventures who are making an impact in the following ways:
The Problem
Social Ventures Lack
-
Capacity:
Too many ventures operate in survival mode, without the time or resources to build the essential systems of strategy, governance, and impact measurement.
-
Funding:
Reliance on short-term, restricted grants keeps organisations stuck in a cycle of chasing money instead of growing their mission.
-
Collaboration:
Working in silos limits learning and partnership opportunities, weakening collective impact across the sector.
Funders Need
-
Transparency:
Donors need clear insight into how their money creates change and honesty when things don’t go as planned.
-
Time and Expertise:
Donors often lack the time and specialist knowledge to identify the highest-potential ventures.
-
Community:
Donors often feel isolated in their giving, but pooling funds creates connection, shared purpose, and greater collective impact.
Our Solution
We connect mission-driven funders with Muslim social ventures, combining patient funding, strategic support, and transparent reporting to create truly meaningful change.

Strategic Change
From mental health to youth development, our leaders are creating systemic change where it matters most.

Phase 3:
