Overview
Mission
Aflah Education Center is dedicated to educating and inspiring students to contribute meaningfully to their communities. We strive to ensure that our students lead lives marked by peace, respect, and harmony, fostering mutual respect among Muslims and non-Muslims in our diverse community.
What it reported doing in 2025
The organization provided structured classes and study sessions on the Qur'an, Hadith, Islamic history, and principles of faith. Weekly lectures, online sessions, and in-person study circles were conducted throughout the year. Over 300 students and community members participated in the program. The initiative improved understanding of Islamic values, promoted moral development, and strengthened community cohesion.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 97% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
