AL FATIH ACADEMY – ‘THE OPENING’

Al Fatih Academy (AFA) operates under the auspices of the non-profit corporation: Muslim Education Resource Council, Inc. (MERCI).  This non-profit corporation was established in September 1999 for the sole purpose of establishing a full time Islamic School in our community.

501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Status

In 2001, MERCI gained a tax exempt status from the federal government.  As such, donations made to Al Fatih Academy are tax deductible.
