The Muslim Public Affairs Council Foundation is a national public policy nonprofit focused on promoting American pluralism by improving understanding and influencing policies affecting American Muslims. With offices in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles, the organization designs and conducts legislative strategies, messaging campaigns, and issue advocacy to engage policymakers, government agencies, and thought leaders on topics including national security, civil liberties, immigration, public safety, and religious freedom. MPAC also provides media analysis and guidance to reporters and the entertainment industry to foster nuanced portrayals of Muslims and Islam, while building coalitions with diverse communities to encourage active citizenship. Founded in 1988, the organization positions itself within the public policy arena as a trusted voice for Muslim communities, leveraging relationships to shape policy and public opinion in service of pluralism and core Islamic values. A recent development noted is MPAC’s ongoing engagement in high-profile public discourse and partnerships across media and government channels, reflecting its role in informing national dialogue.
