Muslim Advocates is a national civil rights organization that works to protect the liberties of American Muslims through legal representation, litigation, and policy advocacy. The organization focuses on systemic change by challenging discriminatory policies and providing civic education to empower communities. In 2023, the organization reported total revenue of $992,892, a significant decrease from previous years as reflected in a three-year revenue CAGR of -62.5%. Despite this contraction, the charity maintains a resilient liquidity position with 7.8 months of working capital, ensuring it can sustain operations during periods of financial volatility. The charity operates with a program expense ratio of 54.9%, which is notably lower than the 78.7% median for advocacy peers. This indicates that a large portion of the budget is currently absorbed by administrative and fundraising needs. However, the organization remains a critical player in the legal space, having secured $90,628 in legal awards and settlements to support its mission. For Muslim donors, the organization is verified as zakat-eligible, specifically serving categories such as fisabilillah (in the way of Allah) and amil (zakat administrators).
