100% of collected funds go to support our operations as we work with wonderful and dedicated volunteers. They are several ways to donate. Please contact us for additional information. With our increasing student body, our current location is being slowly outgrown by the center's activities and is calling for an upgrade. We are setting our sight on a new location suitable to host our public programs. ILMA Center Board of Directors has authorized a global fundraising campaign geared toward acquiring or building the future ILMA Community Center. InshAllah, our goal is to raise $800.000 by the 3rd quarter of 2023 to help secure some real estate.
