Abstract


This study aims to analyze transformative financial management strategies in optimizing the quality of education at Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Ten informants were selected purposively, including institutional leaders, financial managers, teachers, foundation administrators, committee members, and parents of students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies, and then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, with the stages of data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate three main strategies: transformative financial planning oriented towards quality priorities, participatory governance that strengthens transparency and accountability, and diversification of funding sources that support institutional sustainability. The integration of these three strategies improves budget allocation efficiency, strengthens stakeholder trust, and supports the fulfillment of learning needs. Conceptually, this study offers an integrated financial governance framework for non-formal Islamic education. The implication is that madrasah managers need to develop a quality-based planning system, transparent financial reporting, and funding partnerships.
