The Association's resources come from the faith and generosity of donors — through donations (offering the four requisites) and other lawful gifts. Every donation must be made voluntarily.

Article 11
Debt-Risk Reduction Policy (Pay-for-Performance)
To avoid insolvency, the Association has no obligation to pay a fixed base salary to project advisors or coordinators. Allowances for their efforts are paid only from "Fund 4 (the 15% share)" and are based on actual results (performance-based). This policy also ensures that those who help with this social work can support their families decently.
