Our Board of Directors

A volunteer board drawn from the community it serves — overseeing our finances, setting scholarship policy, and safeguarding every donor dollar.

Who Governs the Foundation

Community members entrusted with our mission

The Faith Islamic Academy Scholarship Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of directors drawn from the community it serves. Our board oversees the Foundation's finances, sets scholarship policy, and ensures every donor dollar is used according to Ohio SGO requirements.

Each director shares a common commitment: making sure a high-quality Islamic education stays within reach for every Faith Islamic Academy family, regardless of income. Together, they set the Foundation's direction and work directly with donors, the school, and community leaders throughout Cuyahoga Falls and the surrounding area to carry that mission forward.
