We are seeking support for the Muslim Collaboration Prizes, a unique grant funding opportunity launched in 2022 for a select group of Muslim-led organizations that have been participating in the Community Collaboration Imitative (CCI), a three-year community-based action research project hosted by Indiana University's Lilly School of Philanthropy. The CCI research project is focused on building trust and a collaborative culture among the 21 participating Muslim-led organizations, which work a range of areas including civic justice, mental health, arts and culture, public policy and advocacy. The organizations have formed five teams based on shared programmatic and strategic interests, with each team challenged with finding a creative and collaborative solution to address a common societal problem. To incentivize the organizations in participating in this time-intensive, challenging collaboration process, CCI launched the Muslim Collaboration Prizes for the third and final year of this project. The Muslim Collaboration Prizes serve as a reward for the risks taken by these organizations. By participating in the Prizes process, including submitting an LOI and an application on time, each group will be guaranteed a minimum award of $50,000 and a maximum award of $200,000. Rather than competing against each other, the groups will be evaluated against a set of criteria. The criteria will ultimately consider the quality and depth of the collaboration, and the long-term impact of proposed projects.
