The Center for Pluralism (CFP) is an American non-profit organization founded by Mike Ghouse in 1996.^[1][2][3][4]

With headquarters in Washington, D.C.,^[5] the foundation for Pluralism was developed in 1993 together with Asian News, which is a weekly publication focused on religious harmony in South Asia. Ghouse organized interfaith dialogues and cultural programs to counter prejudice.^[6][7] It was started as a platform to address divisions across faiths, cultures, and ethnic communities to reduce fear and misunderstandings among Americans. The company earned Internal Revenue Service (IRS) approval in 2011. The foundation expanded into political pluralism and societal pluralism after attending a C-PAC meeting in 2016 and addressed biases and supported inclusion across societal dimensions.

It also included pluralism in the workplace to create interconnected work environments. It conducts over 780 hours of radio talk shows and organizes live workshops to explain multiple religious traditions.^[8][9] The organization is based on interfaith principles, citing Jainism's respect for multiple perspectives, Hinduism's metaphor that all spiritual paths lead to one truth, and the Quranic verse supporting religious difference.^[10][11][12]

Its guiding principles are aligned with the Rotary Club’s Four-Way Test, an ethical framework used in community and service organizations.^[13] Its activities include workshops on pluralism^[14], community lectures^[15][16], and conferences based on the relationship between diverse communities, based on how peace can be maintained through inclusion.^[17] It publishes articles and commentary about national identity, social inclusion, and interfaith issues.^[18][19]

It also organized discussions and resources that allow civic participation.^[20] It also holds workshops and discussions on how different cultures can understand each other, building peace and conflict reduction.^[21][22] It also has conferences about accepting different beliefs and being an active part of the community.^[23][24][25]

The organization hosts annual programs, including:

• Holocaust and Genocide Remembrance (since 2006)
• Thanksgiving Celebrations (since 1996)^[26]
• Unity Day USA (since 2005)
• Bridal Shows and Interfaith Marriage Programs^{[27][28][29][30]}
• Festivals of Faiths
