      General Explanation Supplemental Information for Form 990-PF Attachment to Part IX-A - Description of Direct Charitable Activities: ISLAMIC DA'WAH CENTER: The Noor Foundation operates an Islamic Mosque called the Islamic Da'wah Center located in a historic building in downtown Houston. The Mosque was dedicated for religious services in November 2002 and is open daily for prayers and ceremonies. The Center provides services for Muslim and non-Muslim communities. In 2018, over 45,000 individuals participated in daily prayers. During Ramadan month (Muslims' Month of Fasting), over 7,500 individuals participated in the daily iftar (dinner) and extended prayer program. In addition, multiple wedding ceremonies were held, and several workshops about Islam & Eid Aldha Annual Prayer were presented, including classes in Arabic language and religious education classes for all ages.More than 2,750 non-Muslims visited the center regularly during 2018. The Center hosted 35 scheduled field trips, more than 25 walk-in tours and three open houses. The Zakat program provided modest hardship assistance and grants-in-aid to indigent individuals to relieve Muslims in financial distress. AFRICAN FARMLAND: The Foundation purchased a modest piece of land in Ibadan, Nigeria to provide farmland to serve the needs of the very poor and indigent people in nearby communities. During 2009, clearing work was done and a road was constructed. Construction also began on a farmhouse for workers. During 2012-2013, extensive crop cultivation occurred. From 2014 - 2018, the cultivation was expanded and the grain was provided to thousands of poor and indigent people. School project: Work is ongoing to enhance classrooms for children in the area at Ansarudeen High School and Isheri Olofin Elementary School. Community Halls: Supplies and resources were provided to two centers - Oshun College Community Center and OkeAfa Community Center. The centers provide places in the area where the people in the community can gather to receive information, donated goods, and aid from volunteers.Feeding programs: Events are sponsored in four different states in Nigeria - Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, and Oshun. The foundation provides food to the public on a quarterly basis - over 12,000 to 14,000 individuals benefit from this program.BURKINA FASO: The Foundation holds a piece of land to conduct programs to relieve suffering of the poor in Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta). The ultimate goal is to have a community center and feeding program.YOUTH CENTER: A basketball training facility is maintained and staffed by volunteer NBA basketball players. During the summer, outstanding basketball players from area high schools recommended to the foundation can participate in practice training and guidance camp. Volunteer NBA professionals share their skills and provide motivational support and guidance for the youth. JORDAN: The Noor Foundation distributed food to families in need, people with disability, and orphans in Jordan in cooperation with around thirty official Jordanian charitable societies. Some of the societies that assisted with the food distribution included: Hashemite Commission for Disabled Soldiers, Orphan Care, National Alliance Against Hunger and Malnutrition, and Beerain Charitable Association.
