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.  

Since its inception 25 years ago, AFA has taken an integrated approach to teaching. AFA aims to guide students through an interdisciplinary curriculum integrating math, science, language, social studies, life skills, and Islamic/religious studies.

Non-Profit Status

Al Fatih Academy is not a for profit business.  As such there is no individual who profits financially from its operation.  The fees, tuition, donations, and fundraising money that are collected are used to operate the school, purchase supplies and equipment, and to pay staff salaries.  The remainder of the money is re-invested into the school for future use.

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.
