Interfaith Center of New York (ICNY)

Over the course of 27 years, The Interfaith Center of New York (ICNY) has built the most religiously-diverse and civically-engaged network of grassroots and immigrant religious leaders across the five boroughs. These include Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Afro Caribbean, and Native American New Yorkers who have attended one or more of our social justice retreats, participated in our religious diversity education programs for social workers, teachers, lawyers, and NYPD officers, or joined multi-faith advocacy work on immigration and religious freedom. Since 2022, ICNY has distributed small grants to diverse faith communities working to support new immigrants and created a learning community that convenes virtually on a bimonthly basis to offer a shared scriptural reflection, receive and give technical assistance and problem solve, and develop advocacy strategies.
