A Fund to Help a Southern California Community Recover from Hate


Healing from Hate

The Islamic Society of Coachella Valley was recently targeted by an arsonist in a hate crime. The crime took place on a Friday shortly before congregational prayers were to occur. Thankfully, no one was injured, but the mosque is severely damaged. Please support our efforts to restore the Islamic Society of Coachella Valley.

Countering Crime with Compassion

Hate crimes against Muslims are on the rise throughout the United States. During these difficult times, it's important for Muslims to show that we will not be victims of our circumstances. Rather, we will come together to demonstrate our relentless good will for our communities and society at large.

The Funds

Although the Masjid had insurance, it was insufficient to cover the entire loss. For this reason, the funds will be used to repair and replace all that is damaged; including the building structure, electrical and HVAC equipment, furniture, office equipment, prayer hall carpets, and more.


How You Can Help

Please contribute whatever you can and keep our community in your thoughts and prayers. If you would rather help with a check, please make your check payable to "Shura Council" and write "Coachella Mosque" in the memo section. Mail to 7231 Garden Grove Blvd. #H, Garden Grove, CA 92841. Questions? Call us at (714) 373-6473.
