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

2 noteworthy

Specific datapoints from United Mission For Relief And Development Umr'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.

Most noncash contributions come from a single category
noteworthy
100% of noncash contributions ($143,021,451 of $143,021,451) come from a single category: DrugsAndMedicalSupplies.
What this means
Schedule M lists noncash contributions broken into categories (medical supplies, food, vehicles, securities, real estate, etc.). For this org, more than 70% of total noncash dollars come from a single category.
Why it matters (and what it might not mean)
Concentration is normal for orgs with a specific donation-channel partnership (e.g. a medical-supply charity primarily receives medical supplies). It's worth checking because the valuation methodology for noncash gifts varies widely by category, and a single dominant category amplifies any valuation-method choice into the org's overall reported revenue.

```
{
  "category": "DrugsAndMedicalSupplies",
  "category_amount": 143021451,
  "total_noncash": 143021451,
  "valuation_method": "Appraised by Third Party",
  "contributions_count": 1
}
```
Most reported revenue is noncash, not cash
noteworthy
Noncash contributions ($143,021,451) are 95% of total revenue ($149,888,609). Donor-cash impact is much smaller than total-revenue figure suggests.
What this means
More than 60% of the org's total revenue is noncash contributions (donated goods, securities, etc.) rather than cash. So the dollar figures shown on the 990 cover include a large component that wasn't dollars-in.
Why it matters (and what it might not mean)
Noncash contributions are real revenue under IRS rules — but the valuation methodology matters a lot. For donors comparing orgs on dollars-deployed-to-mission, an org whose revenue is mostly noncash has fundamentally different cash flow than one whose revenue is mostly cash. Worth knowing as context.

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 $57.83M

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$1.67M · 2.9%
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)$56.15M · 97.1%
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

United Mission For Relief And Development Umr reports $57.53M 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.

Items worth a closer look

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.

Thin operating reserve
0.3 moNotable
Months of reserve in FY 2023: 0.3. Best-practice nonprofit governance treats 3 months as the lower bound, 6–12 months as a healthy range.
ContextThin reserves make orgs fragile to a single bad fundraising year. Pass-through grant-makers and acute-relief orgs sometimes run this tight by design.
Source: Net assets ÷ (total expenses ÷ 12)

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.

Areas where engagement could help — ethical supplier stack

5 flags detected

We detected 5 vendors on United Mission For Relief And Development Umr'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 Pixel
analytics-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.

Path forward (no judgment — engagement-track)

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.
