Abstract

Purpose − This study aims to analyze the implementation of management functions in the administration of the Sanggar Genius and Sanggar Al-Qur’an programs organized by LAZNAS Yatim Mandiri North Sumatra in Medan City, as well as to examine the implementation of educational empowerment initiatives for orphans and underprivileged children.

Method − This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model, which consists of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification.

Findings − The findings indicate that the management of both programs incorporates four interrelated management functions: planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling. Program implementation combines policies established by the central office with adjustments to local community conditions. Supporting factors include community coordination, the use of learning modules, and teacher involvement, while a key limitation is the absence of a dedicated program management structure. In terms of empowerment, the findings indicate positive changes in the children's academic self-confidence, moral development, and Qur’an-reading abilities. This study highlights the importance of strengthening organizational structures, documentation, and program evaluation to ensure more systematic and sustainable empowerment initiatives. Academically, the findings suggest that the management of educational programs based on Islamic philanthropy requires the integration of management functions and the ability to adapt to local community needs.
