Support IAS Projects and Programs
IAS New Center Campaign
For more than 40 years, the International Association of Sufism has worked to introduce Sufism in all its varied forms to the public, provide a forum for dialogue among Sufi schools and the world’s diverse faith traditions, and support humanitarian causes in the spirit of unity and harmony. In service of this mission, IAS has successfully contributed to local and international communities through its various departments, programs, and activities that bring people together from the California Bay Area and around the world. Now, IAS seeks to secure a permanent home, a Center, with sufficient space to continue and expand its programs and to serve as a gathering place for learning, healing, peace, and spiritual practice for current and future generations.
