Jumu’ah Tabling for Bay Area Nonprofits

Request for a Bay Area Nonprofit to Table During Friday Jumu’ah Prayers

**The Ramadan ’26 Jumu’ah annual tabling mortorium in place. MCC cannot accommodate nonprofit requests on these Fridays in 2026:

February 20

February 27

March 6

March 13

March 20.

Please sign up for a date below, before or after these days.

*We also cannot accomodate requests on February 13 as all spots are taken.

We believe in providing our congregation with opportunities each Friday to learn about San Francisco Bay Area organizations that empower lives in our community, nation, and the world. See how we do this!

Local nonprofits (headquartered or founded in the Bay Area or with an affiliate physical non-residential office here, excluding nonprofits with activities and operations in the Bay Area) may request a Friday table every six months, except during Ramadan, to raise awareness about an event, fundraiser, or project. MCC will not announce an event on Jumu’ah without a representative from a nonprofit present.

MCC does not accommodate international or national organizations without a local presence in the United States. However, MCC may grant an exception for a national nonprofit addressing an emergency humanitarian crisis. MCC does not positively accommodate guest Khutbah sermons paired with sermons or post‐prayer donation appeals.

The weekly Friday Jumu’ah times are on our prayer page. Please plan to table during all services and to arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the first service for setup. MCC will provide one 6-foot rectangular table set in the foyer area. The nonprofit may set up a donation box and offer credit card swiping for donations while tabling at MCC.

Important: Please submit your request on this page only if you represent a San Francisco Bay Area nonprofit. If you are a non-Bay Area nonprofit (i.e., a national organization without a local physical office) seeking an exception to our policy, please don’t hesitate to contact the MCC Board of Directors and explain why your nonprofit deserves an exception. Please do not submit a request on this page.

Nonprofit tabling is blocked on the MCC Master Calendar. Please check for available Fridays before submitting your request. MCC will provide one folding table 6′ for non-profits to use in the MCC foyer. Please bring your tablecloth. Nonprofits are limited to one folding table. Along with their organization materials, nonprofits may bring a donation box and/or a credit card donation processing device.

You can also request a Friday afternoon table during services at MCC’s beloved partner masjids, the San Ramon Mosque and the Livermore Mosque.

1. Jumu'ah Time Review(Required)

I have reviewed the time and logistics for the weekly Friday prayer services at on our weekly Jumu’ah & daily Iqamah page.

– March to November at 1:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 3:40 p.m.
– November to March at 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m.and 2:30 p.m.

Please visit this page to confirm our weekly Friday service times and locations.

2. Non-Profit Status Showing Local Relevance(Required)

I represent a nonprofit with an address in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am enclosing our 501(c)(3) IRS determination letter that bears that address. In order to prove our non‐profit status, I understand that a 501(c)(3) determination letter is the only documentation that MCC accepts. I must send this crucial documentation with my application. I understand that my application will denied if I submit this form without this documentation.

3. Agreement with MCC's Terms for Jumuah Tabling(Required)

I understand that our organization may only engage in passive marketing & fundraising: placement of display brochures and materials and a donation box at the Friday table and up to two representatives handing out fundraising literature and answering questions. You may NOT leave your table in the MCC foyer to flyer vehicles or to hand materials to worshippers as they enter or exit. An MCC representative will make the post‐prayer announcement from the minbar advising of your organization’s presence after the MCC events are announced.

4. Supporting Bay Area Nonprofits(Required)

MCC’s longstanding policy is to positively focused on the hundreds of local causes in the Bay Area. We do not support national Islamic organizations that do not a physical presence operating out of the Bay Area. I affirm that my nonprofit is headquartered or actively operating with a physical office and staff/volunteers in the Bay Area.

For questions, please review MCC’s nonprofit support policy here.

5. Parking at MCC Jumu'ah Prayer Services(Required)

I understand that the MCC parking lot goes full before the start of first Jumu’ah service (12:30 p.m. from November to March and 1:30 p.m. from March to November). If all volunteers/staff of the nonprofit have not secured a parking space before the first Jumu’ah sermon begins, MCC parking lot volunteers will not be able to give preferential treatment or accomodate staff/volunteers once they have sealed the parking lot. The nonprofit’s staff/volunteers must return after the first service ends.

Please review MCC’s parking lot site map here.

6. Decorum While at MCC(Required)

Nonprofit organizations are attending as a guest organization of the MCC. You are representing your respective organization. As a guest of the MCC, please ask all your volunteers and staff to conduct themselves with docorum and respect towards the MCC’s congregation, MCC volunteers & MCC staff. Please address any issues directly with MCC staff.

7. Tabling At ALL MCC Jumu'ahs(Required)

MCC holds three services each Friday to accomodate our large and growing congregation. Your non-profit must table at all three Jumu’ahs. By checking this box, we confirm that our nonprofit will table the first Jumu’ah (12:30 p.m.), second Jumu’ah (1:30 p.m.) and the third Jumu’ah (2:30 p.m.).

8. Food & Drink Sales(Required)

MCC allows internal groups (e.g., MCC Girl Scouts, local youth fundraising for their MSA) to sell pre-packaged food items, such as Girl Scout cookies. We do not allow open containers or food items to prevent spills on the MCC foyer floor.
