The Social Services Committee (SSC) is responsible for providing financial aid programs and services to enhance living conditions of Muslims in adverse circumstances.
It provides financial aid based on the collection of Zakat-ul-Mal, Zakat-ul-Fitr, Sadaqah, and Fidyah monies and it assures that they are disbursed (according to the Islamic rules) to the needy people within greater Knoxville community. Learn more about each of these funds and our Financial Aid Policies.
Applications for Financial aid are subject to review and approval. Financial Aid is for everyone and is aimed to help applicants with utilities, food, housing, and other necessities. Proof of identification, copies of bills, and other items to verify the applicant’s information are required.
Applicants will need to fill out the Financial Aid form to determine whether they meet the criteria to receive assistance. Applications may take up several weeks to process. Financial aid requests are capped per year and may include other stipulations and/or advice to help the applicant find additional support services.
For any questions on how to file an application, you may reach our Social Service Coordinator at social@muslimknoxville.org.
Call (865) 637-8172 to receive help filling out the applications and referrals for other available resources.
