The monthly ummah welcomes Black, Indigenous, POC, and Muslim nonprofit leaders who may not feel welcome in traditional nonprofit education spaces; whether due to the nonprofit's work, their identity as a minority ethnic or religious nonprofit leader, or the lack of diversity within the space. Our goal is to use this as a place of shared values at a collective level and embody the ideals of the nonprofit community.
​
When you register for the ummah session you are invited to join a private group on Talem's website where you can connect with other members, get updates, ask for advice, and share successes. You can also join us in the private Virtual Leaders Ummah Facebook Group.
These resources are curated by Talem to support nonprofit professionals.
We do not accept unsolicited links to resource guides.
