A Board of Executive Members, representing a broad spectrum of the Australian Muslim Community runs Muslim Aid. A board of seven executives are elected by the members of Muslim Aid Australia under the auspices of the Life Members of organization (founders of the organization). The board constitutes of an elected Chairperson, vice Chairperson, Treasurer and four other executive members. A secretary who may also be co-opted (by the elected executive board) in addition to the seven executive members also resource the board. A small professional staff coordinated by a Projects Development Officer is in the process of being recruited to take over the day to day management of the organization.

Muslim Aid receives no governmental agency funding. All our works depend on the generosity of our patrons like you. As matter of fact, only nine percent of the income is spent on administration, making Muslim Aid one of the most efficient charity organizations. Muslim Aid is working towards attaining self-sufficiency through profitable ventures like sales, etc.
