Most US masjids are not required to file Form 990
Islamic Information Centermay 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 2013 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 2013 should begin appearing here around mid-to-late 2014. A gap between today and the latest filing does not mean the org hasn't filed.

Where the money went · FY 2012
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 2012
Total $120KForm 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)$120K · 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
Islamic Information Center reports $150K 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.

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.
Financial context · plain math
Automated checks across Form 990 Part IX and Part VII Section B. We publish the math and the source; we do not adjudicate intent. Many of these have legitimate explanations specific to the org’s mission, read each card’s context note before forming a judgment. The org has full right of reply.
Net assets are 10.4× annual revenue
10.4×Context$1.56M of net assets against $150K of FY 2012 revenue.
ContextFoundations, endowments, and grant-makers (AMCF, Pillars Fund, etc.) intentionally hold multi-year reserves so they can grant strategically over time. A 5–20× ratio is normal for an endowment-shaped balance sheet. Read this in the context of the org's mission, operating charity vs. foundation, not as a default red flag.
Source: Net assets (Form 990 Part X line 33) ÷ revenue (Part I line 12)
Extended-reserve position: 156 months of expenses
156 moContextNet assets of $1.56M ÷ monthly expenses of $10K = 156 months of runway.
ContextSome orgs operate deliberately as educational endowments or grant-making foundations where a multi-year reserve is the target, not a warning. The §A6.5 caveat applies: this figure does not distinguish restricted from unrestricted net assets, so it is an upper bound on truly discretionary months.
Source: Net assets ÷ (expenses ÷ 12)
High reserves with low investment income (potential idle capital)
0.00% returnContextNet assets of $1.56M produced only $0 of investment income in FY 2012, under 0.5% return on the reserve.
ContextAn endowment-shaped balance sheet whose capital isn't earning is worth a question, but a grant-making foundation that pays out reserves on a 2–3 year cadence may rationally hold cash for upcoming commitments instead of locking it in invested capital. Read this alongside the org's grant cadence.
Source: Investment income (Part VIII line 4) ÷ revenue
Engagement-track path:if a specific explanation fits the org (new-org ramp, capital campaign, FQHC medical-staff payroll, multi-year grant schedule), the org can sign in, attach the supporting filing detail, and a contextual note will publish alongside the relevant card. The numbers stay — the reader gets the reasoning.

Ethical supplier stack, not yet scanned
scan pendingWe have not yet run the public-website vendor scan for Islamic Information Center. 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
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.
