Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
2026 AQA Fundraiser - Supporting our Religious Services
Tuition and fees cover 43% of what it costs to operate Al Rahmah Quran Academy and provide our religious services. Donors cover the rest.
Al Rahmah Quran Academy is more than a school. It is the foundation through which many of ISB’s religious education, spiritual development, youth, outreach, and community programs are supported.
Your contributions help provide the teachers, scholars, program leaders, facilities, technology, materials, and resources needed to keep these services accessible to our community throughout the year.
This year, we’ve broken our $300,000 fundraising need down program by program so you can see exactly where your money goes, how it is used, and what your gift helps make possible.

$300,000 Annual Goal
Program | Goal | Where Your Gift Goes | Your Gift Funds |
| AQA — Hifdh & After School Academy | $90,500 | Our teachers sit with students every day until the Quran is in their hearts. Your support helps provide consistent Quran instruction and Islamic education for our full-time and part-time Hifdh students, After School Academy students, and other educational programs. | Teachers · Books · Classroom materials |
| Construction | $50,000 | More classrooms mean more students can learn and more programs can grow. Your gift helps create and improve the spaces where Quran education, classes, halaqas, and community programming take place. | Classroom and facility build-out |
| Outreach | $29,000 | ISB Outreach connects our masjid with neighbors and individuals who may have never experienced a Muslim community before. Your support helps provide dawah resources, community events, and opportunities to build meaningful relationships. | Dawah materials · Community events |
| Eternal Message Conference | $24,000 | The Eternal Message Conference brings scholars and the community together in Baltimore for Islamic learning, reflection, and spiritual growth. Your gift helps make the entire experience possible. | Speakers · Venue · Production |
| Youth Group | $14,500 | Our youth need a place where they can belong, build friendships, develop their Islamic identity, and stay connected to the masjid. Your support helps provide consistent programming and meaningful experiences throughout the year. | Weekly programming · Annual retreat |
| Revive | $13,000 | Revive creates a consistent gathering place for young professionals to learn, connect, and strengthen their relationship with Allah and their community.

| Where It’s Needed Most | $49,500 | Not every expense fits neatly into one program. These funds give us the flexibility to fill gaps, cover shared religious-service expenses, and respond to needs throughout the year so programs can continue without interruption. | Shared expenses · Program needs · Funding gaps |
| Total | $300,000 | Together, these gifts sustain the religious education, spiritual development, outreach, youth programs, conferences, and community services that our community depends on throughout the year. |
Your Gift Supports More Than a Program
When you give to Al Rahmah Quran Academy, you are helping sustain the broader religious life of our community.
You are helping a child memorize Quran, a teenager stay connected to the masjid, an adult continue seeking knowledge, a new Muslim find mentorship, a sister participate in meaningful programming, and hundreds of families benefit from scholars, conferences, and Islamic education throughout the year.
Every gift helps keep these religious services strong, accessible, and growing.
Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your support.
Wassalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
