Financial Transparency | Al-Noman Foundation

Our Promise

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Al-Noman Foundation, we practice radical transparency. Every dollar is tracked, every expenditure is documented, and we hold ourselves publicly accountable to the communities we serve and the donors who make our work possible.

We believe that trust is earned through action, not words. That is why we go beyond what is required of us and voluntarily share detailed information about how your donations are used. Our volunteer-driven model ensures that the maximum amount of every dollar you give reaches the people who need it most. We have no paid staff, no executive salaries, and no unnecessary overhead. Every cent is treated as a sacred trust from our donors to the communities we serve.

Every Dollar, Maximized

While many nonprofits spend 30-40% of donations on overhead and administration, we have built Al-Noman Foundation on a volunteer-driven model that keeps overhead to an absolute minimum. Here is where your money goes:

90%+ Direct Program Services The vast majority of every dollar funds our core programs: building water wells in Benin, sponsoring students' education, providing daily bread and nutritious meals to families in need, constructing and restoring places of worship, and delivering humanitarian aid to Palestine, Turkey, and Yemen.
~5% Fundraising & Outreach A small portion covers essential fundraising activities including payment processing fees (Stripe, PayPal), website hosting, campaign promotion, and community outreach to raise awareness for our programs and attract new supporters.
~5% Administrative & Operations Minimal administrative costs cover essential operations such as banking fees, insurance, legal compliance, IRS filings, state registrations, and communication tools. Our volunteer team donates their time and expertise, eliminating salary costs entirely.

Our Accountability Measures

We maintain rigorous internal controls and accountability practices to ensure that every dollar is used responsibly and effectively.

Separate bank accounts for Zakat and general funds, ensuring that Zakat donations are used exclusively for Zakat-eligible purposes in compliance with Islamic guidelines.
Monthly internal financial review by the Board of Directors to monitor all income, expenditures, and fund allocation across programs and regions.
Annual financial summary published on this page, providing donors and the public with a clear picture of our financial health and program spending.
All donation receipts provided for tax records. Every donor receives a receipt confirming their tax-deductible contribution to our 501(c)(3) organization.
Independent financial review planned as our revenue grows. We are committed to engaging an independent auditor once our annual revenue exceeds the threshold requiring formal audits.
IRS compliance and state registration maintained at all times. We ensure that all federal and state filing requirements are met, and our 501(c)(3) status remains in good standing.
Donor funds tracked from receipt to deployment. We maintain detailed records tracing every donation from the moment it is received to the moment it is used in the field, so donors can see the impact of their generosity. Read our full Zakat Policy →
