I'm not sure why this question occurred to me, but it did.
I was researching an area we haven't visited before and ran across a youtube video about Somali refugees in Shelbyville, TN. That's another topic all on its own. (http://www.newenglishreview.org/Jerry_Gordon/Somalis,_Shelbyville_and_Severe_Culture_Shock/) But, the question occurred to me because these few hundred refugees had their own mosque, right in Shelbyville, very soon after their "second migration". Running a mosque isn't free or cheap, so where do the "refugees" get the funds?
I've tried some quick internet searches, but I don't have answers yet. Although there appears to be a good bit of discussion about the topic of funding mosques in the UK and funding the rebuilding of mosques destroyed by US bombs.
