GCLEA is the heart of the community — and you, its visitors and supporters, are the soul that gives it life.

 

A place to belong. A clear spiritual anchor.

For years, GCLEA has been the place where our community prays, learns, grows, and heals together — a masjid and center that keeps your faith, your family, and your future connected to Allah ﷻ.

Your generosity is what keeps that heart beating.

​

What Your Support Made Possible This Year

 

With Allah’s grace, and your support, GCLEA has been able to:

• Grow our Islam4Kidz Sunday School – more children learning Qur’an, sīrah, and loving their dīn.

• Offer greater convert support – a New Muslim Cohort, follow-up mentoring, and safe spaces to ask real questions.

• Increase religious education for adults and teens – study circles, classes, and learning pathways that deepen belief and practice.

• Support new Muslim families – including developmental “mommy & me” style programs that nurture both parent and child.

 

All of this sits on top of what you already rely on every week:

• 5 daily prayers & Jumu‘ah

• Clean, welcoming facilities

• Organized structure & reliable communication

• Security staff and systems to protect our community

• A passionate team that shows up every single day to serve the faith and the faithful.

​

Building the Next Generation of Leaders

 

The coming year, in shā’ Allāh, is about investing deeply in youth:

• Youth Imāmah Development Program – training young men to lead, recite, and serve as future imams and khatībs.

• Leadership & Mentorship Tracks – pairing youth with role models who can guide them in faith, character, and life decisions.

• A robust weekly evening program for ages 7–12 – an often underserved age group that needs both religious grounding and academic support.

  • Islamic learning

  • Homework help

  • A healthy social environment with friends who share their values

​

We are not just running programs — we are cultivating the next generation of confident, grounded Muslim leaders.

​

Our 2026 Funding Picture

 

To keep GCLEA strong and growing, our 2026 annual budget is:

• $570,000 total

This is covered through:

• December Campaign Goal: $85,000

• Ramadan Campaign Goal: $185,000

• The remainder through support memberships, small donations, and nominal program fees.

Our overhead remains modest, and the vast majority of our budget goes directly into the programs, services, staff, and facilities that serve you and your family all year.

​

Why Give Now

 

GCLEA’s doors are open 365 days a year — before Fajr, after ‘Ishā’, and at all the moments in between when you need a place to pray, reset, or be reminded of Allah ﷻ.

Giving now:

• Keeps the masjid you love stable and secure

• Allows us to plan confidently for youth programs and community services

• Makes you an active part of the mission, not just an attendee

This is how you “own” GCLEA — not on paper, but with your du‘ā’, presence, and contribution.

​

Be Part of What GCLEA Makes Possible

 

You can support GCLEA in a way that fits your situation:

• Make a one-time gift to help us reach the $85,000 December goal

• Set up a recurring monthly donation and become part of the core group that sustains GCLEA all year

 

Your contribution, whatever the amount, is a statement: “This is my masjid. This is my community. I will help carry it.”
