Abstract

This research was aimed to raise and distribute the funds of the mosque-based disaster philanthropy and accountability of funds of the mosque-based disaster philanthropy. Based on the findings, it is expected to be able to obtain the raising and distribution model of the mosque-based disaster philanthropic funds, and to provide an explanation on the accountability of philanthropic funds managed by mosques. Accountability is very important to know how philanthropic funds are accountable to the related parties. There were several mosques that became the object of research, namely At-Taqwa Mosque, the Bhakti Muslim Pancasila Charity Foundation of Minomartani, UGM Mosque, Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Mosque, Local Government of Sleman Regency, and Ulil Albab Mosque of UII. With a description analysis, this study found that the philanthropic funds were raised from the community from the existing infaq box media, which were announced to jama’ah directly, and on the mosque announcement board and bulletin, especially for at-Taqwa mosque, the announcement was also put on the mosque’s website. Technically, this fund raising was still thematic or accidental, as the fund raising is only conducted when there is any natural disaster occurred, and there would be no fund raising when there is no natural disaster. There is no media or activity conducted for motivating the community/jama’ah to provide donations for the aid of natural disasters, as all of which are still informational. Disaster philanthropic funds distributed by mosques are carried out directly to the disaster victims, in which only several parts are conducted in a collaboration with religious social institutions and local government. The distribution is dominated in the form of cash and daily necessities but not in other forms yet. The fund raising and distribution models were generally built by special committees, as it was only Ulil Albab mosque which had the models built not by a special committee but by the administrators. The accountability of disaster philanthropic funds was carried out based on mosque. In general, the accountability in the management of natural disaster aids collected from communities and distributed by mosques have been good enough, because there is a legal basis on which the program is based, as there have been monitoring and accountability report made but the main concern is that there are still some mosques which have not formed a special committee. There is a significant difference if the management of aids is carried out by the takmir (administrators) and a special committee, as from the four mosques, it is shown that the fund raising resulted in larger amount by a special committee.
