Most US masjids are not required to file Form 990
Atlanta Masjidmay 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.

Attestations & Audits
Org-supplied disclosures that have been verified by the Ihsan Standard Editorial Council. Every standard has a Gold tier (★) reached via an Ihsan Standard or accepted third-party audit. An empty section means the org has not yet filled it in, not that they fail the standard.

Where the money went · FY —
Form 990 Part IX (Statement of Functional Expenses) split into the four functional buckets, plus automated anomaly detection across the most-asked donor questions.
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.

Areas where engagement could help, ethical supplier stack
1 flag detectedWe detected 1 vendor on Atlanta Masjid's public website that appear on widely-followed Muslim-community watch lists (BDS, Project Nimbus contractors, documented content-suppression, or Uyghur-surveillance context). Per the §I “transparency over imposition” principle, we publish the facts and the cited basis, we do not adjudicate which boycotts are religiously obligatory. Each donor decides.

Most orgs we scan don’t know which of their analytics or payment vendors appear on community watch lists, they inherited the choice from a template or an ads-manager setup. Alternatives exist for every flagged vendor (Helcim/Stax for payment, Plausible/Fathom for analytics, self-hosted PostHog for session replay).
The Ihsan Standard Supplier-Stack Audit goes further than the public-website scan above. We inventory the full vendor stack, payment processors, hosting, CRM, accounting, ad-tech, the back-office tools that don’t show up in HTML, identify ethical alternatives for each, and build a realistic transition timeline staffed against the org’s actual calendar. The audit output is a vendor-by-vendor switch plan, not a shame-list.
Paired with the Khulafāʾ al-Arḍ Stewardship Audit (environmental footprint of sites and vendors, in partnership with the Art and Wilderness Institute’s Green Masjid Initiative), this is the engagement-track ladder we offer every org. See the Attestations & Audits section above for the full set.
Method: automatic vendor detection from public website data. Watch-list basis is the documented public reason each vendor appears on community lists (BDS, Don’t Buy Into Occupation, U.S. Dept. of Commerce Entity List, etc.), not Ihsan Standard’s own editorial judgment. See the ethical-supplier rubric for the full methodology.
Compensation history
No officer-compensation data on file for this org, neither the per-officer roster (Form 990 Part VII Section A) nor the aggregate line (Part IX line 5) has been indexed by ProPublica.
