Overview

Mission

The organizations mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, and empower American Muslims and build coalitions to promote justice and mutual understanding through education, mediation, media and the law.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
