Atawasul Center (Pioneers Academy)

The Atawasul Center (EIN 20-3044271) is an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving the Minneapolis–St. Paul area; it operates religious and language education programs and a year-round primary education program that is publicly presented under the name Pioneers Academy. The organization’s web presence and public filings confirm its tax-exempt status and active operations in the Twin Cities metro.

Programs emphasize Qur’an, Islamic studies and Arabic language instruction for boys and girls through weekend classes and primary-school programming. Recent organizational activity includes open admissions for the 2025/2026 school year and local fundraising for campus amenities at its Blaine/Brooklyn Park-area site.

Atawasul Center’s most recent annual filings (fiscal year ending 2024) show substantial program activity and organizational scale: the 2024 Form 990 reported roughly $1.38M in revenue and expanded program expenditures, and publicly available grant disclosures show external charitable support in 2024. The organization maintains listings on GiveMN, nonprofit data services and consumer-directory sites and continues to recruit students and donors.
