Overview

Mission

To educate Muslims in Georgia to register to vote, show up to the polls, and increase voter turnout in elections through voter education, registration drives, and grassroots organizing.

What it reported doing in 2024

Voter Education: The Georgia Muslim Voter Project conducted nonpartisan voter education initiatives to increase civic awareness and participation among Muslim communities across Georgia. This included the Youth Ambassador Program, the Mobilize for Muslims Summer Organizing School, and civic education workshops held at mosques, community centers, and schools. These efforts equipped participants with knowledge about elections, voting rights, and community leadership.

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 most voting board members are independent. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
