<p>Despite the severe economic crisis that flattened our normal income growth but spurred record demands on our services and resources, the Islamic-American Zakat Foundation, has managed to remain solvent. We spent almost $176,000 on our charitable programs in 2011.  Thanks to God's bounty, the generous donors year enabled the Islamic-American Zakat Foundation to help needy American families to meet various needs, especially to avoid homelessness. In addition we continued to spend moneys specifically designated for da`wa work for spreading the truth about Islam to Muslims and non-Muslims by various means, including the distribution of Qur'ans to prisoners and hospital patients.</p>
