Overview

Mission

Recognizing the unique needs and interests of Muslim attorneys, as well as the special role that Muslim attorneys play in the many communities of New York, a group of lawyers and law students established the Muslim Bar Association of New York in 2006 to organize and represent Muslim attorneys in the New York area and advance the goals, needs and interests thereof; to improve the position of the Muslim community at large and protect the rights of Muslims in America; and to facilitate communication, resource sharing, and education to further the professional development of Muslim attorneys.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 89% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
