Who the association is
The association was incorporated on 4 August 2011 under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908 and registered as a New Zealand charity on 14 January 2013. Its registered other name is Tawa Islamic Centre.
The organisation serves the Wellington-Wairarapa area and is recorded as a not-for-profit religious organisation. It is funded through donations/koha and membership fees.

This organisation is not IMAN and is not the Wellington Islamic Centre in Kilbirnie. The Kilbirnie centre at Queens Drive is associated with the International Muslim Association of New Zealand, a different entity.
The GoodStack platform record lists "6 Oxford Street, Wellington 5028"; the Charities Register confirms the full current address as 6 Oxford Street, Tawa, Wellington 5028.
