The Organization reviews income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns to determine if there are any income tax uncertainties. This includes positions that the entity is exempt from income taxes or not subject to income taxes on unrelated business income. The Organization recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the positions. The Organization has identified no significant income tax uncertainties. The Organization files information returns as a tax-exempt organization. Should that status be challenged in the future, all years since inception could be subject to review by the IRS. true Action Center on Race 1901 W Carroll Ave 3rd Flr Chicago IL 60612 821199695 501(c)(3) 10000 0 Program Support Allied Media Projects 4126 3rd Street Detroit MI 48201 010559608 501(c)(3) 42500 0 Program Support Brooklyn Historical Society 128 Pierrepont Street Brooklyn NY 11201 111630813 501(c)(3) 21000 0 Program Support Childrens Museum Manhattan 212 W 83rd St New York NY 10024 132761376 501(c)(3) 21000 0 Program Support CUNY School of Law 2 Court Square Long Island NY 11101 113235349 501(c)(3) 26500 0 Program Support Emgage Foundation Inc 1140 3rd Street NE 2nd Flr Washington DC 20002 261441032 501(c)(3) 21000 0 Program Support Faith in Action 999 N Capitol Street NE 200 Washington DC 20002 942206497 501(c)(3) 21000 0 Program Support Filmmakers Collaborative 6 Eastman Place Suite 202 Melrose WA 02176 222778829 501(c)(3) 41000 0 Program Support Georgetown University 37th and O Streets NW Washington DC 20057 530196603 501(c)(3) 10000 0 Program Support Georgia Muslim Voter Project 4745 Bramble Rose Ln Suwanne GA 30024 811446781 501(c)(3) 11000 0 Program Support Huron University Fnd 2607 Palm Ave Manhattan Beach CA 90266 208179397 501(c)(3) 16000 0 Program Support Indiana University Foundation PO Box 500 Bloomington IN 47402 356018940 501(c)(3) 10000 0 Program Support Inner City Muslim Action Net 2744 W 63rd Street Chicago IL 60629 364167433 501(c)(3) 50000 0 Program Support Institute for Social Policy 6 Parklane Blvd Suite 510 Dearborn MI 48126 383633581 501(c)(3) 54000 0 Program Support Intl Museum Muslim Cultures 201 E Pascagoula Jackson MS 39211 364495799 501(c)(3) 26000 0 Program Support Islamic Scholarship Fund 8407 Central Ave 2007 Newark CA 94560 208540050 501(c)(3) 16000 0 Program Support Macro Media LLC 6255 W Sunset Blvd 1060 Los Angeles CA 90028 472625030 25000 0 Program Support MKY Entertainment Group PO Box 282 Mount Rainier MD 20712 473173811 20000 0 Program Support MUHSEN PO Box 9486 Naperville IL 60567 473187591 501(c)(3) 16000 0 Program Support Muppies Inc 244 FIFTH AVE SUITE N270 NEW YORK NY 10001 472761990 501(c)(3) 13500 0 Program Support Muslim Advocates PO Box 34440 Washington DC 20043 300298794 501(c)(3) 51000 0 Program Support Muslim Wellness Foundation 7433 Limekiln Pike 204 Philadelphia PA 19138 472533025 501(c)(3) 26500 0 Program Support NEO Philanthropy Inc 45 W 36th Street 6th Floor New York NY 10018 133191113 501(c)(3) 26000 0 Program Support Pillars of the Community 6403 Imperial Avenue San Diego CA 92114 452323183 501(c)(3) 16000 0 Program Support Project South 9 Gammon Ave SE Atlanta GA 30315 581956686 501(c)(3) 26000 0 Program Support Sahaba Initiative 1887 Business Center Dr 3A San Bernandino CA 92408 452488503 501(c)(3) 16000 0 Program Support Taleef Collective 43170 Osgood Road Fremont CA 94539 721528691 501(c)(3) 31000 0 Program Support Unity Productions Foundations PO Box 650458 Potomac Falls VA 20165 770519274 501(c)(3) 26000 0 Program Support University of California 3720 S Flower Street Los Angeles CA 90089 951642394 501(c)(3) 51000 0 Program Support 27 2 Grants and Scholarships 14 31650 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used The organization monitors recipients of grant funds. false false false false false false false false false Kashif Shaikh Executive Dir. 155000 155000 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The 990 is completed by an independent accounting firm, reviewed by the executive director and board of directors prior to filing.
