In this episode of The Muslim Nonprofit Show, Tayyab Yunus sits down with Faizan Syed, co-founder of A Continuous Charity (ACC) an organization that turned a simple idea into a $10 million movement helping thousands of students pursue education without interest.
From a handwritten notebook and $60,000 in seed money to a national impact across hundreds of students, Faizan shares how ACC built scalable systems, overcame early challenges, and created a sustainable, faith-driven model for long-term community change.
If you've ever wondered how to build a nonprofit that lasts, this is the blueprint.
