The Fellowship accepts its first cohort this summer through a partnership with UC Berkeley's Haas Institute of Fair and Inclusive Society and the Islamophobia Research and Documentation Project. Every dollar raised during this campaign goes towards program expenses required to host our first 10 fellows who will help reduce hate and prejudice towards American Muslims and marginalized communities at the policy level.

OUR SOLUTION:

To maximize our effectiveness and impact as an organization, we have conducted intensive research to understand the best way we can prevent similar attacks from ever happening again. We understand that in order to prevent similar violence from recurring, we need to address hate through a preventive, rather than a reactive approach.

Our focus as a Foundation is a result of our discussions with expert matter researchers, psychologists, and anti-discrimination activists. 

WHAT WE DO:

Our Three Winners Foundation is focused on three areas:

• Raising awareness about implicit biases
• Offering de-biasing and outsmarting techniques
• Instilling awareness about implicit biases through positive messaging

For this important and systematic work, we need your support.

We encourage you to give a gift in honor of Our Three Winners to support our programming. With your help, we are working towards building a society where American Muslims and other marginalized groups are treated with dignity and respect, and where no family has to live in fear of losing a loved one to hate violence

THE FOUNDATION'S COURT PROCEEDING STATEMENT:

We welcome the results of the hearing and the evidence that clearly showed the murders were motivated by the killer’s hatred of Muslims. A previously undisclosed video, recorded by Deah during the tragedy unbeknownst to the killer, was shown to the court. The video clearly demonstrates the hatred the killer had for the victims, the disrespect with which he approached them, and the disregard he had for their beautiful lives. Today, we were able to reclaim the narrative and definitively put to bed the false claim that these murders were over a parking dispute. Read More

REMEMBERING OUR THREE WINNERS:

"Silence is violence and we must not be complicit. The voices of people rooted in love, compassion and justice must be louder than the voices of hate and divisiveness. I am grateful for the work of Our Three Winners Foundation to continue the legacy of Deah, Razan and Yusor to bring light where there is darkness. There’s no room for hate and bigotry in our society." - Linda Sarsour

​

"The brutal murder of Deah, Yusor, and Razan remains both a wound and a rallying call for Muslim Americans. As is the case with murder of Emmett Till, it is the response of the community that determines the launching of a movement. May it be that we look back on the #OurThreeWinners as the creation of a Muslim-led freedom movement, connected to the liberation of all of us while insisting on the full humanity—and suffering—of us as Muslims." - Professor Omid Safi 

"Bigotry isn't just immoral. It can also be lethal. The work of Our Three Winners Foundation has never been more important." - Dalia Mogahed

"Many of us in the Muslim community remember exactly where we were when we got the tragic news about Deah, Razan, and Yusor, as well as the tears that followed. Their deaths though were not in vain, catapulting the reality of hate violence coupled with their legacies of service to national audiences. The work of the Our Three Winners Foundation has emerged as a source of light and leadership during difficult times and is needed more now than ever before. " - Zahra Billoo

"The violent murders of Deah, Razan and Yusor are the result of hate, bigotry and racism. And since the world lost them four years ago, hate has moved from the periphery to the mainstream and acts of hate are on the rise. It is at this moment that the work of #OurThreeWinners is need more than ever, to both challenge the narratives that lead to hate and darkness, but also to continue to shine the light of Deah, Razan and Yusor." - Professor Dalia Fahmy
