The AMIA NSW membership program aims to support the organization in formalizing the introduction of members to deliver community programs in the most effective and economic way. Active members should adhere to the bylaw of AMIA NSW organisation.
For all the events/programs, there is a need for additional funds to cater to the expenses of hall booking, food, and other expenses. This consideration is especially important as AMIA NSW has been classified as a religious organization, where hall and other expenses are in a higher category compared to organizations in other categories. Besides membership fees, we strongly encourage members to contribute generously to the organization’s expenses, such as Iftar, considering it as a major expense with a significant turnout. Members are also encouraged to sponsor events, but this should be done strictly following the guidelines set by the organization.
Need of the membership:
AMIA NSW is a voluntary organisation dedicated to the betterment of the community and fostering learning of the Quran and Sunnah. All volunteers are non-paid members who contribute their support to the community. The community is experiencing exponential growth, necessitating the establishment of appropriate contingency plans to ensure that the community is well-supported. These plans include booking halls for events and meeting ongoing running expenses, among others, which require funds. On certain occasions, AMIA NSW receives funding from organizations like Multicultural Australia to run events. However, as per the terms, the organization is also required to contribute (up to 15%) towards expenses such as food and other areas. This means that despite receiving government funding, there is a definite need to collect additional funds to cover expenses.
