Our Team
The Human Development Fund (HDF) was founded by Muslim Americans and young professionals who have spent a combined 24 years in the nonprofit humanitarian sector. They are collectively responsible for establishing multi-million dollar organizations. Each of these individuals has a multitude of skills that will enable them to make The Human Development Fund the premier Muslim nonprofit in the US inshaAllah. We’re glad you have decided to take this journey with us!
We believe in a better, more efficient way to do humanitarian work. Our focus will be that of development and sustainability once we ensure that the basics are taken care of.
Our team will be working around the clock to provide the care needed for those you have chosen to support and sponsor.
HDF's initiatives align with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aiming to uplift marginalized communities and pursue sustainable objectives. Our projects directly impact seven key goals and contribute to a ripple effect across others, fostering positive change for a better future.
