Support Us

At the Muhammad Ali Center, we are dedicated to building a more compassionate, inclusive world that reflects the values and vision of Muhammad Ali. The Muhammad Ali Index is a groundbreaking initiative designed to measure and inspire compassion across U.S. cities, providing a data-driven approach to addressing the root causes of discrimination, hate, and extremism. By tracking key indicators of empathy, justice, and community resilience, the Index empowers cities, organizations, and individuals to take meaningful action toward creating positive, lasting change.

To take this transformative initiative across the nation, we’ve set an ambitious goal to raise $5 million. Your support will help expand our reach, strengthen compassion-driven policies, and empower leaders and communities to implement meaningful solutions. Together, we can create a future where justice and empathy shape the foundation of our cities and our nation.
