ISNA Development Foundation

The responsibility of a securing a sound financial base falls upon the ISNA Development Foundation (IDF). A sound financial base is crucial to ISNA's operations in order to bring to the North American Muslim community the variety of programs, events, and trainings that make ISNA a vital part of the mosaic of Islam in America.

The Foundation’s efforts are divided among two primary programs the Annual Fund program and the Planned Giving program.

• The Annual Fund program is responsible for raising two-thirds of the operating budget for ISNA through programs such as the Community Service Recognition Luncheon, the Saturday Evening Main Session during the Annual Convention, Outreach visits to communities across North America, direct mail campaigns, the 1000 Donors Club, and the Electronic Funds Transfer program which allows donor to give electronically directly from their checking or saving account monthly.
• The Planned Giving program focuses on future gifts.  The eventual goal is to help ISNA become financially self-sufficient through the ISNA Endowment Fund.  Planned giving at ISNA is also responsible for printing and distributing a shariah-compliant Last Will and Testament which is valid in all 50 States. IDF strives to educate Muslims in North America on estate planning techniques in order better equip them for their own financial security as well as that of their community.

The Foundation also serves a critical function for the Muslim Community of North America by providing a place where Muslims can confidently fulfill their Islamic requirements of Zakah.
