Most US masjids are not required to file Form 990
Abu Hurairah Mosquemay qualify under the IRS “church exemption” that relieves houses of worship from the public Form 990 filing requirement. That makes the ProPublica financial timeline here sparse by design, it is not a transparency failure. The trade-off is that masjids generally have less public transparency than 501(c)(3)s that do file 990s, so our framing for masjid pages is different:
- 1.Independent audit is the single most important signal.Donation boxes, cash collections, and weekly khutbah envelopes mean money flows that benefit from a third-party audit. We treat a recent audit as the “Gold-tier” signal for masjids, see the Attestations & Audits section below.
- 2.Ethical supplier stack still applies.Even without 990 filings, the masjid’s public website routes through analytics, payment, and hosting vendors, same lens we apply to every org.
- 3.Best-practice gaps are coachable, not punitive.Most masjids don’t have access to the CRMs, accounting software, and donor-management tooling that larger 501(c)(3)s use. The Ihsan Standard engagement track is built for exactly this, a cleanup and capacity path, not a gotcha publication.
The IRS Form 990 for FY 2023 is due ~Nov 15 of the year after the fiscal close, followed by 3–6 months of IRS processing and 6–12 months before the cleaned data is published. FY 2023 should begin appearing here around mid-to-late 2024. A gap between today and the latest filing does not mean the org hasn't filed.

Where the money went · FY 2022
Form 990 Part IX (Statement of Functional Expenses) split into the four functional buckets, plus automated anomaly detection across the most-asked donor questions.
Expense breakdown · FY 2022
Total $206KForm 990 Part IX line items we have on file for this filing (compensation totals + fundraising lines). The full functional-expense col-A/B/C/D split (grants, program, admin, fundraising) was not in the structured extract, the residual sits in “Program & operations” below. Reading note: compensation is NOT the same as “admin overhead” , for orgs running clinics (like IMAN’s FQHC), schools, or in-house programs, most of compensation is program work.
- Program & operations (other)$206K · 100.0%
Total expenses minus compensation and fundraising, the residual covering program supplies, occupancy & utilities, professional fees, beneficiary services, medical supplies (for clinics), travel, equipment, and depreciation. ProPublica's structured extract did not include the Part IX functional split for this filing year; the breakdown PDF reconciles which specific lines went where.
Fundraising efficacy · not the primary lens for this org
Abu Hurairah Mosque reports $235K in contributions on only $0 of fundraising spend , a ratio that suggests this org isn't fundraising-driven in the conventional sense. The Form 990 “fundraising expense” line item is meant to capture solicitation costs (telemarketing, direct mail, digital ad spend); for universities, masjids, foundations, and orgs primarily supported by major gifts or program revenue, that line is small or zero, and the resulting “ratio” reads as meaningless.
The right operational-efficiency lens for an org like this is reserves, payroll composition, and program-expense ratio, see the financial-anomalies section and the multi-year trend dashboard.
Year-over-year trends · through FY 2022
Arrow color = direction × good-when-upPer-metric direction and magnitude vs. the prior fiscal year. Where the data goes back far enough, the 3-year compound annual growth rate is included, useful for separating one-off spikes from sustained trends.

Net assets ÷ (annual expenses ÷ 12). The trend matters more than the absolute number: a falling reserve year-over-year is the early warning sign of fragility, even if it's still above the 3-month floor.
No financial anomalies surfaced
For the most recent fiscal year on file, the automated checks (fundraising-cost ratio, single-contractor concentration, reserve adequacy, officer-comp share) did not flag anything. This is the default state for most orgs and is meaningful, it means the math on Form 990 Part IX and Part VII Section B doesn’t require an explanation.

Ethical supplier stack, not yet scanned
scan pendingWe have not yet run the public-website vendor scan for Abu Hurairah Mosque. A blank section here is not evidence of a clean supplier stack, it means we don’t have data yet.
Coverage as of today: ~6 / 1,917 cohort orgs scanned. The Ihsan Standard rendered-site scanner is being rolled out across the cohort; the Supplier-Stack Audit (engagement track) covers vendors that don’t appear in public HTML at all (CRM, accounting, ad-tech back-office).
Compensation history
Form 990 Part VII Section A · 2 filings on record
Every officer, director, key employee, and highest-compensated employee with reported pay. Recent year is shown by default, switch tabs for prior years or the unique-people roll-up.
