Overview
Mission
To move people to strive for God-consciousness, liberty, and justice and to convey Islam with utmost clarity.
What it reported doing in 2024
Public Affairs and Civic Engagement (PACE) strives to engage society and promote good by inspiring people of faith into responsible action, establishing a clear and proper image of Islam and Muslims through the development of comprehensive and structured programming, developing religious, communal, and educational programs, offering opportunities for workshops that facilitate dialogue for private and public audiences, integrating positive efforts in social cooperation and collaboration, encouraging service-oriented projects through faith based initiatives, and fostering relationships with Muslim organizations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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
STRONG - 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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
