Most recent filing on fileFY 2023

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.

Filing observations & context

1 concerning

Specific datapoints from Montgomery County Muslim Foundation Inc's most recent IRS Form 990 that warrant a closer look. Each item is computed directly from the org's own public filing — we explain what the datapoint is, what it might mean, and the legitimate reasons it could be present. Read these as context, not conclusions.

Grant recipients on Schedule I aren't fully identified
concerning
12 Schedule I grants lack a recipient name/EIN; 0 list an EIN that doesn't match any IRS-registered org.
What this means
On Schedule I — where the org lists every grant it made to other organizations — three or more rows are missing the recipient name + EIN, or the listed EIN doesn't match any organization registered with the IRS.
Why it matters (and what it might not mean)
Schedule I exists so donors can trace a charity's grants to actual recipient organizations. Missing or unverifiable recipient details make that trace impossible, which a donor's right to do. In many real cases this is a data-entry shortfall (e.g. small recurring grants without the recipient EIN looked up) — but it's also where the most opaque fund flows hide, so we surface it.

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 $308K

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$130K · 42.3%
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)$178K · 57.7%
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

Montgomery County Muslim Foundation Inc reports $305K 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 2023

Arrow color = direction × good-when-up

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.
