About EAST BLAINE COMMUNITY CENTER

East Blaine Community Center is a Minnesota 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2023 that operates as a faith-rooted community center and youth education organization serving Blaine and the northern Twin Cities suburbs. The organization describes its work as combining prayer and religious life with quality K–8 education, youth programming, and civic engagement to prepare students and members for success in the broader community. In 2024 the organization moved from formation into active implementation: it acquired a large vacant office/school building in Blaine and pursued local rezoning and permitting to open the East Blaine Mosque and Academy (a private K–8 school and religious center). The group is listed in nonprofit data platforms and has received media coverage and reported grant support while it develops programs and facility renovations.

Notable achievements

Acquisition of former Minnesota School of Business building

In 2024 the organization acquired the 46,000-square-foot property at 3680 Pheasant Ridge Drive NE in Blaine (the former Minnesota School of Business building) to house a mosque, community center, and a private kindergarten-through-eighth-grade academy.

Local planning approval milestone

May 2024: The Blaine Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend rezoning the site to allow operation of a private K–8 school and community center, moving the proposal to the City Council for final action.

Secured early institutional support

Since formation the organization has been listed in nonprofit databases and reported receipt of sizable philanthropic support enabling property acquisition and initial program planning and renovations.
