FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Q: Where did the name “Poligon” come from?

A: Polygons are shapes defined by any number of straight sides and vertices, symbolizing our work to advance policy, promote progress, and connect people by building coalitions (polygon) through strengthening relationships and developing partnerships (the sides) with communities, advocacy groups, and mission-aligned organizations (the vertices). Furthermore, just as polygons are shapes, Poligon aims to shape policy, discourse, and progress for a more inclusive and equitable nation. Our team changed the spelling from “Polygon” to “Poligon” as a nod to our focus on policy and politics.

Q: Are you a PAC? Republican? Democrat?

A: No, we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-partisan educational and charitable organization. We do not endorse political candidates. Poligon is non-partisan because we believe it is important for Muslims to engage with all of their Congressional representatives, regardless of their political affiliation. Democrats, Republicans, and Independent members of Congress all represent Muslim constituents, and it is important for Muslims to advocate for their rights with all of these members of Congress.

Q: Do you provide scholarships?

A: No we do not.
