Supporting the Future of IOST: Our Community, Our Responsibility 🌙
"The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills." (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:261)
Alhumdulillah, our community is thriving. We are more united than ever, growing in both numbers and spirit. From our youth programs and educational classes to our essential community services and vibrant events, IOST is a home for all of us. We are truly blessed with a wonderful facility and a dedicated congregation that makes all of this possible.
To maintain this growth and continue providing the high-quality services our families deserve, we rely entirely on you.
đź’ˇ Did You Know?
IOST operates solely on local donations. We do not receive government grants or outside funding. It is our community—and only our community—that keeps these doors open.
- Our Daily Reality: It costs approximately $1,000 per day ($365,000 annually) to cover our operational budget.
- Our Goal: To not just maintain, but to improve and expand our offerings for the generations to come.
🤝 How You Can Help
We are asking every working member of our community to consider a small but powerful monthly commitment: Donate the equivalent of just 1 to 2 hours of your monthly earnings.
Why Monthly?
While every one-time gift is a blessing, recurring monthly donations are the backbone of our financial stability. They allow us to budget effectively, manage our accounting with precision, and focus more on programs rather than fundraising.
May Allah (SWT) reward you for your generosity, put barakah in your wealth, and make this a Sadaqah Jariyah for you and your loved ones. Please share this post to help us reach our goal!
