Overview

Mission

The Islamic Multi-Service Organization is a not-for-profit community-based organization established to address the socio-economic concerns of underprivileged and poor individuals and families in the Boston area irrespective of their racial, religious, or social background. IMSO runs a food pantry and educational programs for people in the inner city. The IMSO food pantry is part of this effort and provides continuous help to certain families including refugees, single mothers, and the elderly in and around Greater Boston's Communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Islamic Multi Service Organization (I.M.S.O.) operates a food pantry and offers educational programs to support individuals and families in the inner city. In 2024, the pantry served over 20,008 people-an 18% decrease from 24,400 served in 2023. This effort was carried out in partnership with Madison Park Housing Corporation at the Dewitt Center. In addition, I.M.S.O. launched a new initiative in 2024: the Modest Women Swim (MWS) program, which teaches both young and older women how to swim. On average, the program serves 35 women per month. Looking ahead, I.M.S.O. plans to launch its Returning Citizens Program in fall 2025, aimed at supporting individuals reentering society after incarceration.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% 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

MIXED - 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.
