Alhijra Islamic Foundation in Winnipeg dedicates 78.6% of its $1.98 million revenue to compensation, making staffing the overwhelming driver of its operations — a critical flag that reflects an organization where paid staff are the program. With 27 years of registration, steady 5.3% annual growth, and 99.7% program spending, the foundation runs lean on administration but heavy on personnel costs. Reserves at 8.8 months sit well below the 176-month peer median for its category, though that benchmark is skewed by asset-heavy peers.
Our Verdict: A long-established Islamic foundation delivering education and community services in Winnipeg with near-perfect program spending efficiency. The dominant compensation ratio means donors are primarily funding staff-delivered programs — appropriate if the mission is education and direct services, but worth understanding before giving.
