An easy way to double your contribution is through employee giving programs. Many corporations match employee donations (or the tax deductible component of your membership) to our organization. If you volunteer with us, your employer may also provide us with a grant as a way to recognize your ongoing support.
Jazakallah Khair for checking to see if your company offers these programs!
See if your employer will match your donation!
Additionally, you will automatically receive your total annual contribution at the end of each fiscal year (typically during the last week of January/first week of February).

Yes, you can earmark your donation toward a specific program or project that we are working in; however, we ask that you consider contributing unrestricted funds so we can allocate our resources more efficiently where needs are the greatest. Our ability to provide the best support and programming for our community would not have been possible without the ongoing general support from our donors.
If you wish to restrict your donation, please send an email to [email protected] stating which project or program you would like the funds directed. In your email, please include your name, full address, and the amount of your donation to ensure your gift is redirected for your desired operation.
If we are unable to earmark your donation to your desired project or program, we will contact you further to discuss other options.
We thank you for your continued support to IAR and our operations.
As we look ahead toward growth and expansion with new capital projects, we remain committed to fiscal prudence to ensure sustainability and high-quality programming for every community we serve.
We rely on our generous community to create a lasting impact and ensure the continuous operations of your Masjid as the gathering place, school, and house of worship for Muslims across the Triangle.
Those who spend their wealth in charity day and night, secretly and openly—their reward is with their Lord, and there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.”
– The Holy Quran 2:274
