“See Schedule O”
The IRS Form 990 for FY 2024 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 2024 should begin appearing here around mid-to-late 2025. A gap between today and the latest filing does not mean the org hasn't filed.

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 2023
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 2023
Total $89.54MForm 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.
- Compensation & benefits$6.85M · 7.7%
Form 990 Part IX lines 5–10 — total staff compensation: salaries & wages, payroll taxes, and benefits across everyone the org pays (program, clinical, and support staff), plus any pay to officers, directors, and key employees. The per-person split — including which officers, if any, are paid — is in the Compensation history section below. For orgs running clinics, schools, or in-house programs, most of this is program work, not admin.
- Fundraising$258K · 0.3%
Form 990 Part IX line 11e (professional fundraising) + direct fundraising expenses. Donor acquisition, professional fundraisers, mailings.
- Program & operations (other)$82.44M · 92.1%
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
Helping Hand For Relief & Development Inc reports $94.28M in contributions on only $258K of fundraising spend (365 : 1) — 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 2023
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.
- Revenue↑ 10.1% YoY$94.05Mprior: $85.45MΔ +$8.60M3y CAGR +10.5%
Total revenue per Form 990 Part I line 12.
- Contributions↑ 10.3% YoY$94.28Mprior: $85.48MΔ +$8.81M3y CAGR +11.8%
Form 990 Part I line 1h — gifts, grants, and contributions received.
- Investment income→ -0.1% YoY$9Kprior: $9K
Form 990 Part VIII line 4 — interest, dividends, and other investment earnings on the org's reserve. For orgs with material reserves, a healthy investment-income trend indicates capital is actually working; near-zero income on a large reserve raises the 'idle capital' question.
- Total expenses↑ 43.9% YoY$89.54Mprior: $62.21MΔ +$27.33M3y CAGR +15.0%
Form 990 Part I line 18 — total functional expenses.
- Top-officer compensation↓ -67.8% YoY$353Kprior: $1.10MΔ −$743K
Form 990 Part IX line 5 — aggregate compensation for officers, directors, key employees, and the five highest-paid employees. Growing in line with revenue is expected for healthy orgs; growing faster than revenue is the question worth asking.
- Total compensation & benefits→ -1.8% YoY$6.85Mprior: $6.98M3y CAGR +5.7%
Officer comp + other salaries + payroll tax — total people-cost of running the org.
- Net assets↑ 7.0% YoY$77.55Mprior: $72.50MΔ +$5.05M3y CAGR +23.4%
Form 990 Part X line 33 — assets minus liabilities at year end.
- Months of reserve↓ -25.7% YoY10.4 moprior: 14.0 moΔ −3.6 mo3y CAGR +7.3%
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.

Areas where engagement could help — ethical supplier stack
3 flags detectedWe detected 3 vendors on Helping Hand For Relief & Development Inc'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.
- Meta Pixelanalytics-tracking
Meta Platforms — documented in multiple reports (BSR external review 2022, Human Rights Watch 2023) for systemic suppression of pro-Palestinian and Arabic-language content during the May 2021 Gaza crisis and ongoing. The Meta Pixel is the user-tracking instrument that feeds Meta's advertising and content-ranking systems. Many Muslim donors who use Facebook/Instagram daily are nonetheless concerned about funding the advertising surface.

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.
