Serving the greater Fredericksburg, Stafford, Spotsylvania areas
Assalamu Alaykum and welcome to the Straight Path Foundation!
We are excited to inform you about the recent developments regarding the Islamic School Project. Your feedback on the last survey was extremely valuable. Since then, we have created a Board and have been able to give our organization a formal structure. We’re excited to share that we’re making strong progress toward becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Straight Path Foundation, which will take the lead on our school building initiative.
We have a long road ahead of us and we can't get there without your help. Inshallah our initial target is to open a full-time elementary school, with goals to expand in the future with support - a school that will serve the entire Muslim community in our area stretching from North Stafford all the way down to Spotsylvania and Caroline counties.
Our goal is to open the school in Fall of 2026. That means we have just over a year to do everything we need to get done in order to meet our target. Survey Phase 1 showed us that there is a strong desire in the community for this school and now Survey Phase 2 will help us fill in the blanks.
Setting up the organization and its structure was the first major challenge. Alhamdulillah we are past that. Now this survey will help us define the budget, curriculum, staffing needs, fundraising goals, and everything else. We already have dedicated people working on key areas like Finance, Academics, Schedule and Planning, among others.
In this community, we have the desire, we have the right skillset, and we have the means to make this happen. So please help us get there and make sure to fill out the survey below!
