Why a masjid needs this

A masjid's books are not a business's books

Gifts arrive six ways

The bank sees lumps: a Mohid day, a Zeffy week, a Venmo cash-out. Amanah knows the donors inside each deposit.

◆

Zakat is held in trust

Zakat and Sadaqa belong to the people they are for. Amanah keeps them apart and shows what is still owed to them.

↻

Treasurers change

Rules, explanations and history stay with the masjid, so the next volunteer starts where the last one stopped.

✓

Everyone asks

The board, the community and the auditor get answers in minutes, with evidence behind every figure.

What it does

From bank statement to board report

Bank statements, as downloaded

Chase statements read from the PDF; any other bank from its OFX, QFX or CSV export. A grid shows which months are in, so a gap is never hidden.

Donation reconciliation

Mohid, Zelle, Zeffy, Venmo, PayPal, Stripe and Tap2Pay matched to bank deposits, fees and refunds included. Only what doesn't fit is listed, with an optional AI “Why?”.

Designated gifts, moved right

A Zelle marked “zakat” that lands in Operations: Amanah says what to transfer, and where, with the gifts behind it.

Rules that remember

Code a line once and make it a rule; next month's lines code themselves. Every recode and fund move keeps who, when and why.

Zakat and Zakat al-Fitr

Every payment by the eight categories of at-Tawbah 9:60, how long Zakat has been held, and Fitra given by Eid.

Two-signature close

A checklist the data answers for itself, the board's notes, then the month closed by the treasurer, approved by a second signer, and locked.

What you own, owe and counted

A fixed-asset register with depreciation, the deposits you are holding for hall hire, bills that arrived after the month end, and Friday cash counted by two people and matched to its deposit. The balance sheet stops being only cash.

Year-end financial statements

The four statements a CPA prepares, with the prior year, the notes, highlights and validation checks. Unaudited, and it says so on every page.

Every report the board asks for

Statement of activities, fund roll-forward, budget vs actual, functional expenses, trial balance, a general ledger with running balances, and Form 990 lines when you file one.

GBM deck, board packet, lobby slide

The general body meeting deck in one click, a monthly board packet with no donor names, and a slide for the lobby TV.

Donors and year-end receipts

Each donor's gifts across every platform in one place, and year-end receipts by email or PDF. Donor names are hidden by default — initials and a donor id — and every time someone asks for a name it is written to the audit trail.

CPA and audit ready

A CPA packet of every schedule, a needs-review workbook answered in Excel, the auditor's questions answered from the books, a controls register and a tamper-evident audit trail.

Find any transaction

Type a payee, a few words or an amount, from any page: every account, every month, with the transactions behind any figure one click away.

Financial statements

Year-end statements in the form a CPA presents them

One click turns the year's books into a complete set of nonprofit financial statements, with the notes, highlights and schedules a board and a CPA expect. Every figure comes from the ledger; none is typed by hand.

The four statements: assets, liabilities and net assets; support, revenue and expenses with and without donor restrictions; functional expenses; and cash flows, with the prior year beside them.
The notes a CPA would write: liquidity and reserves, deposits above the insurance limit, restricted funds released, Zakat by the eight categories, contributions by channel, and the completeness of the records.
Highlights for the general body meeting: the key figures, what each dollar was spent on, and a month-by-month chart.
Checked, not just printed: validation checks recompute the totals independently, from the trial balance to every bank statement and last year's closing balance, and say plainly what still needs attention.
Honest about what it is: every page is marked unaudited. Your board gets a clear picture and your CPA a head start, without anyone mistaking it for an audit.

Governance

Governance for masjids and nonprofit religious organizations

A community trusts a masjid that can show where the money went and how decisions are made. Amanah governs the money. Trusivic, from the same team, governs everything else: policies, controls, approvals and votes.

Financial governance · Amanah · free

Controls the books enforce

Separation of duties: the person who closes a month cannot approve it.
Roles: treasurer, bookkeeper, second signer, board, relief committee, CPA; the board never sees donor names.
Restricted funds: Zakat and Sadaqa spending checked against their purpose.
Evidence: every change has a reason and a name, in an audit trail that shows any edit.
Controls register and audit-readiness questions, answered from the books.

Governance & compliance · Trusivic · free

Policies, controls and accountability

Know what applies: an applicability wizard narrows the frameworks to your organization, location and activities.
Policies: draft them from your answers or import your existing ones; review, approve and publish each version with a stable reference.
Controls and evidence: finance and IT controls linked to frameworks, with owners and recorded evidence.
Gaps and acknowledgments: see what is missing, and track who has read each policy.

Trusivic Vote · paid per activity

Elections, formal votes and member surveys

Board and shura elections for eligible members, formal votes from proposal to recorded outcome, and surveys of a defined group, sharing one organization setup with Governance & Compliance. From $19 per activity.

Security and privacy

Donor and family information deserves care

A donor gave to the masjid, not to a mailing list. Amanah keeps their name out of sight by default and writes down every time someone looks.

The donor list: initials and a donor id, masked emails, and a Show name button beside each donor

Names hidden by defaultThe donor list shows initials and a donor id. A name, email or address appears only when someone asks for that donor.

Every look is recordedAsking for a name, opening a donor, making or sending a receipt — each goes into the audit trail with who did it and when.

Not even in the address barThe donor id is a hash, so no name reaches browser history, a bookmark or a server log.

The board never sees donorsBoard members and the relief committee cannot open the donor page at all; their packets carry totals.

Kept only as long as neededSet a limit and Amanah erases the email, phone and address of donors who have not given since. The gifts stay, so the books still add up.

Two-factor sign-inA password and an authenticator code for everyone.

Encrypted in transitHTTPS only, with modern TLS.

Encrypted backupsReadable only with a key your masjid holds.

One masjid per installationYour books share nothing with anyone else's.

AI only if you want itOff by default; donors' names removed before it explains an exception.

Questions

Asked by treasurers

Is Amanah really free?

Yes. The software and every feature are free. We charge only for a dedicated server ($90 a year) and for support, consultancy and customization. Installing it on your own server is free if you give us access.

How do Amanah and Trusivic fit together?

They are sister products from the same team. Amanah keeps the books and enforces financial controls. Trusivic covers the rest of governance: which policies apply, drafting and approving them, controls with owners and evidence, and elections, votes and surveys. Both are free to use; you pay only for services and for each Trusivic Vote activity.

Who can see who gave what?

Only the treasurer, the bookkeeper and the CPA, and even they see initials and a donor id until they ask for a particular donor. Each asking is written to the audit trail with their name. Board members and the relief committee cannot open the donor page at all, and no board packet, deck or lobby slide carries a donor name. You can also tell Amanah to erase contact details once a donor has not given for a set number of years — the gifts stay, the way to reach them does not.

Do we need to change banks or donation platforms?

No. Amanah reads the PDF statements your bank already gives you and the exports your platforms already offer: Mohid, Zelle, Zeffy, Venmo, PayPal, Stripe and Tap2Pay. If your bank's statement isn't read yet, we add it.

We already use QuickBooks. Why switch?

QuickBooks doesn't know which donors are inside a Mohid deposit, that a Zelle marked "zakat" belongs to the Zakat fund, or that Fitra must be given by Eid. Amanah does that work and keeps a standard chart of accounts your CPA recognises.

Can the board see who gave what?

No. The board sees the reports and the close status, never donor names. Families who received Zakat or Sadaqa are never named in reports or decks.

Are Amanah's financial statements audited?

No, and they say so on every page. Amanah prepares the statements in the form a CPA uses, from your ledger, and checks them before you share them. An audit, review or compilation is a CPA's work; Amanah gives your CPA a complete, checked starting point for it.

Is Amanah giving religious rulings?

No. It records your masjid's decisions: each Zakat payment's category, your holding limit, your Eid date. The rulings are for your imam and scholars.
