Overview

Mission

To serve the Muslim (and broader) community through Islamic worship and education (e.g., prayer services, Dawah/outreach, and new-muslim support) and through supportive services such as Zakah request and social services, guided by MCA’s values of God’s love, human dignity, and community committed to prayer and service.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 89% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
