Pillars Fund
Rest, Renew, and Reimagine with Us This Ramadan
/ April 13, 2021
Ramadan Mubarak!
As we enter into a second Ramadan during a global pandemic, we are reflecting on the lessons of the last year and resetting our intentions to remind each other of the hope and inspiration that exist all around us. At Pillars, we are planning three digital events to celebrate the contributions of our community and create conversations that remind us to take time to rest, think of ways to foster renewal, and allow us to reimagine our collective future.
We will talk with leaders from our grantee partner organizations and our Muslim Narrative Change (MNC) Cohort, whose experiences and vision can provide insight on what rest, renewal, and re-imagination can mean this Ramadan.
Please join us for these 30-minute Instagram Live conversations at @pillarsfund—we look forward to hearing your reflections and answering your questions!
