Organization Name: Kiwanis International
Organization Overview: Kiwanis clubs, located in 80 nations, help their communities in countless ways. Each community’s needs are different—so each Kiwanis club is different. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things happen.
Service footprint: Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Members stage nearly 150,000 service projects and raise nearly US$100 million every year for communities, families and projects.
A family of servant leaders: Kiwanis clubs focus on changing the world by serving children, one child and one community at a time. To do this, many clubs also sponsor a Kiwanis family club—K-Kids for primary school children; Builders Clubs for adolescents; Key Clubs for teens; CKI clubs for university students and Aktion Clubs for adults living with disabilities—to reach more people and have a greater service impact on their communities.
Traditional and not: No two Kiwanis clubs look exactly the same. Each member’s and community’s needs are different, and each club should look different. Some clubs are very traditional, with weekly meetings and a strong sense of history. Other clubs don’t meet at all, and instead hold meetings online and only come together for service projects. Newer clubs may follow the 3-2-1 concept: 3 hours of service, 2 hours of social activity and a 1-hour meeting each month. Clubs should reflect their communities and their members and should work to meet their needs. Flexibility is key to a successful club.
Fellowship and fun: Kiwanis members don’t just do service—they have fun. Members make new friends by being part of a club where they attend meetings and participate in social events. Kiwanis clubs also provide excellent networking opportunities for professionals. Members meet new people from all over their region and the world through service projects, fundraising and by attending district and international conventions.

Organization Name: Masjid al-Fath
Organization Overview: All praise is due to Allah (SWT) and may His peace and blessings be upon His beloved Prophet and Messenger Muhammad (SAW). Muslim Ummah of North America (MUNA) is a nationwide Dawah and Social organization. The fundamental aim and objective of the organization is to seek pleasure of Allah (swt.) by striving to develop personal, moral and social quality of human life. The Qur'an is the guidance not only for the Muslims, but also for the entire humanity irrespective of race, religion, or color. In essence, there is no other alternative for real peace and salvation except the total submission to Allah and firm acceptance of his eternal guidance. Ac-cording to Quran, Allah (S.W.T) says, ''Hold fast, all of you together, to the rope (Qur'an) of Allah, and be not divided among yourselves.' (Al- Imran:103).
In order to fulfill the aim and objective of organization, MUNA provides many invaluable services in many communities in the United State of America including Michigan. Islamic Center of Warren, Michigan is one MUNA’s masjid based community projects in Michigan to continue Dawa and social activities to introduce the true meaning of Islam.
And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful (Quran)
Metropolitan Detroit has been home to Muslim Americans for over a century. Immigration, con-version and second- third generations of Muslims have grown in numbers rapidly to a large community of over 50,000 people.
The city of Warren, Michigan has become one most of diverse Muslim communities in Michigan within the last decade. On the other hand it is becoming a challenge for the Muslim community to provide adequate facilities for future generations. Not having the proper space may also contribute to Muslim youth to look for different path. Ultimately this may lead to destroy our future generations. That kind of loss can never be recovered.
Islamic center of Warren founded to assist Muslims to become a better Muslim through educational, religious, socio-economic, and cultural services to develop moral community citizens.
May Allah help us to provide the proper space with the Islamic Center of Warren to: Facilitate Muslims to learn and lead his or her life ac-cording to Islamic teaching based on the Qur'an and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and to promote the true practices of Islam to the community. Attain the pleasure of Allah by fulfilling the needs of the community through educational, religious, social, economic, and cultural services to develop moral community citizens. Promote interfaith activities to build bridges of understanding among diverse faiths.

Organization Name: Masjid Furqan
Organization Overview: Dear brothers, sisters, sons and daughters,
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatul Lahi Wa Barakatuh!
Have you ever lived in the dilemma of choosing between your children’s Islamic education and their public education? We hesitate in opting for Quran memorization for our children as we feel it may get in the way of worldly success which we estimate to be the only path for happiness in life. Well, with the will of Allah then with your help we can make our children complete both their education and memorization of the Quran at the same time.
The importance of Quran in our lives and our children’s lives cannot be overstated. Allah SWT is continuously speaking to us through the Quran. The Quran is the human manual written by the creator. To understand how to operate in this life, we need to understand and follow Allah’s commandments that are stated in the Quran.
Our communities in the United States suffer from a scarcity of full-time schools that teach the entire Quran to grade-schoolers. This problem is compounded by the immersion of our kids in public schools that drill into them the love of the material life. The Muslim adults are not in a much better predicament. They are overwhelmed with their everyday taxing lives trying to make ends meet and running chores from day break to sunset if not even further into the night. The Quran Institute of America (QIA) Hifz School is part of our project initiated with the goal of instilling the love and understanding of the Holy Quran. It is a full-time school in which our teachers will assist the students with the home-schooling core curriculum (Math, Science, language art, etc.) in addition to the Quran. Our graduates will grow to love the Word of Allah SWT and adopt it as part of their Muslim American identity. As a school administration, we try to fulfill our responsibility toward our beloved students.
