JANNAH CIRCLE IS CURRENTLY SERVING A COMMUNITY OF 11,200 ATTENDEES LOCALLY AND VIRTUALLY

Your generosity will help continue to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those who live in your own backyard. When you support Jannah Circle, you help strengthen your own community and give specifically women and the youth a chance to foster a better and healthier future.

Northbrook:

We picked this location due to the need in the community for prayer space (currently they have no masjid), no Sunday School for children, and no community space for muslims to gather. There is a large muslim population yet almost no accommodations tailored for Muslim use. We hosted pop-up events to gauge interest in the community. They were sold out immediately, with 600 potential members interested in a community space.

Our need:
$200,000 operating and build-out cost

Lincolnwood:

We chose this location due to a heavily populated Muslim area that has many needs that JC could address.   Local Sunday Schools are filled to maximum capacity and there are many students waitlisted. The community has reached out to JC to provide more wholesome family programs, and address the growing needs of the youth struggling with faith and depression. We also have plans to address the elderly population who struggle with loneliness.
