Overview

Mission

To engage the school learning community in a Quran guided journey toward active global citizenship.

What it reported doing in 2024

Operation of independent Islamic K4-12th grade school where substantially all students qualify for the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, which provides tuition assitance to students from low income families. The school also provides students transportation, as well as breakfast and lunch.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
