Our Work in Civic Life

The Big Picture

Whether at the doctor, the polls, or a concert, diversity of identity and perspective is omnipresent in American life. As that diversity increases and plays an even more prominent role in our relations with others, IA is working to embed a respect-relate-cooperate paradigm across our civic landscape. From disaster relief to climate change, from refugee resettlement to election integrity, religiously diverse communities are key leaders and vital contributors to the lifeblood of America’s civic landscape. 

The Opportunity

Interfaith America turns shared values into shared action by working with religiously diverse communities around common goals. A thriving, resilient democracy must engage religious diversity for the common good. While polarization appears to dominate the nation, a majority of Americans want to live in a religiously diverse democracy — though they may lack the skills to unlock that diversity’s potential.

What We Do

Interfaith America inspires, equips, and connects faith and civic leaders to foster interfaith understanding and collaboration for the common good. We empower leaders to mobilize across differences on issues of shared concern.

Emerging Leaders Network

Interfaith America inspires, equips, and connects interfaith leaders who influence how healthcare, business, non-profits, religious communities, government, and other sectors engage with religious diversity.
