Overview
Mission
Dar AlJalal’s mission is to secure comfortable facility to provide comprehensive Islamic services and Education to our North American Muslim and Non-Muslim communities-at-large in accordance with the Holy Quran and the Sunna of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
The Islamic Society of Greater St. Louis, operating as Masjid Dar Al-Jalal, serves the Muslim community in St. Louis, Missouri, by providing a facility for comprehensive Islamic services and education. The organization offers daily prayers, Quran classes, community events, and support services such as funeral arrangements and a gym. It also facilitates charitable giving through Sadaqa, Zakat, and general donations, and hosts an annual fundraiser to sustain its programs.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 60% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- 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
REVIEW - Most voting board members are independent and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
