Illuminate Denver: Muslim Fund for Higher Education

Announcing Illuminate Denver: Muslim Fund for Higher Education

We are honored to announce the launch of Illuminate Denver: Muslim Higher Education Fund, a partnership between A Continuous Charity (ACC) and the Islamic Center of Aurora Colorado (ICACO)—the first youth-focused masjid in the Denver Metro area.

This initiative is designed to empower Denver’s Muslim students by providing halal, interest-free financial support for higher education. Together, we aim to illuminate pathways to learning, leadership, and faith — ensuring that financial challenges never stand in the way of educational dreams.

Our Mission

  1. Provide Halal Alternatives to Riba-Based Loans
    The fund’s core mission is to offer interest-free educational loans to Muslim students, enabling them to pursue their academic goals without compromising their Islamic principles.

  2. Support Student Loan Refinancing
    For graduates already burdened by student debt, the fund offers refinancing through ACC, replacing interest-bearing loans with ethical, Sharia-compliant options that promote financial stability and peace of mind.

Why It Matters

Education is the light that transforms individuals and communities. Yet many students face financial obstacles that dim their potential. Illuminate Denver was created to ensure that every Muslim student in our community can access higher education while remaining rooted in faith, ethics, and purpose.

How It Works

Through this dedicated Educational Partnership Fund (EPF):

  • Apply: Submit your application online through ACC’s platform.

  • Review: Our team carefully evaluates applications for eligibility and financial need.

  • Disbursement: Approved funds are distributed directly toward educational expenses or used to refinance existing student loans.

Get Involved

You can help illuminate the path forward:

  • Students: Apply for interest-free educational support.

  • Graduates: Refinance your riba-based student loans.

  • Donors: Contribute to the fund and empower the next generation of Muslim leaders.

Together, we can bring light to the lives of our students and strength to our community through the power of knowledge and faith.
