Tabling Applications & Policies
SBIA welcomes community organizations and groups to set up informational tables during Friday Jumu’ah and Taraweeh. To ensure a respectful, safe, and organized environment, all groups must comply with the following guidelines.
SBIA reserves the right to approve, deny, or revoke any tabling request at its sole discretion.
Eligibility & Purpose
- Tabling must serve a Bay Area based educational or community-focused purpose, such as raising awareness or providing beneficial resources.
- Activities must offer a meaningful benefit to attendees or the broader community.
- Organizations fundraising for construction, or institutional promotion are not permitted.
- Groups raising funds for international causes are not allowed.
- The organization must be a recognized, credible group or individual with a clear and legitimate mission.
Policies
All organizations, materials, and messaging must align with Islamic values and reflect a respectful, inclusive environment. Content must not be offensive, divisive, discriminatory, or inappropriate.
Tabling must remain strictly nonpartisan. Endorsing or opposing candidates, parties, or ballot initiatives, campaigning, distributing political statements, soliciting campaign contributions, or any activity that may impact SBIA’s nonprofit status is strictly prohibited.
Fundraising is strictly prohibited. This includes asking for donations, displaying payment links or QR codes, or using payment devices of any kind.
Tabling is permitted only during Jumu’ah and Taraweeh at designated times. Requests must be submitted at least 72 hours in advance.
Tabling is limited to designated upstairs areas outside the prayer hall. No tables are permitted in the main downstairs lobby. Do not leave materials on bulletin boards, walls, or other surfaces without prior approval.
SBIA will make an announcement after Jumu’ah informing attendees of your table. Tabling groups are not permitted to make announcements themselves.
