Ramadan Campaign 2023 – The Islamic Seminary of America

Build Your Legacy,
Better Our World

What We Do

At TISA, we train Muslim-American leaders to better serve our communities, equipping them to tackle modern-day problems by bridging the gap between classical theology and practical application.

Why We Do It

Because our children, families, and communities need ethical, effective leaders who understand the unique challenges of living in the West, and can provide the guidance and strength to help us thrive.

Why Give?

Because you recognize the problem and want to be a part of the solution; You want to leave a legacy that continues to bring benefit long after you’re gone; You want to increase your reward with Allah.

Within ten years, we aim to graduate a minimum of fifty students (5 per year) through our Islamic Studies and Chaplaincy Degrees who will be active changemakers in communities across North America.We know some community needs cannot wait, so TISA also works to facilitate immediate change by offering Graduate Certificates, workshops, classes, as well as our Visionary Leadership Awards for current leaders on-the-ground, who are ready to advance their skills and knowledge, and receive added support to make an immediate difference in the communities they serve.
