Most recent filing on fileFY 2024

The IRS Form 990 for FY 2025 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 2025 should begin appearing here around mid-to-late 2026. 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 2024

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 2024

Total $1.70M

Form 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$1.17M · 68.6%

    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.

  • Program & operations (other)$535K · 31.4%

    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 Academy Of Alabama Inc reports $382K 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 2024

Arrow color = direction × good-when-up

Per-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 pending

We have not yet run the public-website vendor scan for Islamic Academy Of Alabama Inc. 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).
