Inner-City Muslim Action Network

Holistic Interventions for Systemic Justice

The Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) is an organization that fosters health, wellness, and healing for urban populations by organizing for social change, cultivating the arts, and operating a holistic health center.

IMAN models an integrative approach that employs holistic interventions to address a spectrum of structural and systemic injustices impeding a dignified quality of life for people in their communities.

Our Investment

Chicago Beyond’s $1.1 million investment supported IMAN to create the Youth Leadership Home for young men experiencing housing challenges and in imminent danger. IMAN also leveraged funding to develop a Beloved Community Kitchen and Ceramic Studio and expand behavioral health capacity. Today, IMAN continues their work, including its health offerings, re-entry supports, and broader community development strategies.

Our Philosophy

Chicago Beyond amplifies the impact of solutions driven by those closest to the issues. We aim to notice, relate, and work differently, both as a funder and as a partner to those we invest in. By consistently applying these practices, we recenter humanity in philanthropy and all that we do.
