What is a “nonprofit bookstore”?
A bookstore is a retail business, so how can it be nonprofit? Very simply, it can be both, and they are not mutually exclusive.
Light of Islam Bookstore is an educational center and a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. The purpose of selling books is twofold: to fulfill our mission and to provide an additional funding source for the store. Donations will be the primary source of funding, as with most nonprofits.
Light of Islam is registered in the state of Texas as a nonprofit organization, and as such no profits can go to any individual involved with the store. The organization is governed by a board of directors and managed by an executive director who is an employee of the organization.
