Mission · 990 Part I
“THE ORGANIZATION'S PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE SCHOOLING TO CHILDREN TO BRIDGE THE INTERFAITH GAP BETWEEN THE ISLAMIC FAITH AND THE OTHER MAJOR RELIGIONS.”
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.

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 $260KForm 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$215K · 82.6%
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.
- Fundraising$55K · 21.2%
Form 990 Part IX line 11e (professional fundraising) + direct fundraising expenses. Donor acquisition, professional fundraisers, mailings.
Fundraising efficacy · FY 2023
How many dollars of contributions the org raises for each dollar spent on fundraising. Most useful for relief / advocacy orgs whose growth depends on active solicitation.
Every $1 of fundraising returned only $1.12 — the fundraising machine is barely net-positive.
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↑ 54.7% YoY$309Kprior: $200KΔ +$109K3y CAGR +20.5%
Total revenue per Form 990 Part I line 12.
- Contributions→ n/a$62Kprior: $0
Form 990 Part I line 1h — gifts, grants, and contributions received.
- Total expenses↑ 27.6% YoY$260Kprior: $204KΔ +$56K3y CAGR +23.1%
Form 990 Part I line 18 — total functional expenses.
- Total compensation & benefits→ n/a$215Kprior: $0
Officer comp + other salaries + payroll tax — total people-cost of running the org.
- Net assets→ n/a$107Kprior: $0
Form 990 Part X line 33 — assets minus liabilities at year end.
- Months of reserve→ n/a4.9 moprior: 0.0 mo
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 Islamic School Of Grand Rapids. 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).
