Capitalisation & Endowment Model

Building a Permanent Foundation for Development

The World Waqf Fund's capitalisation strategy is designed to build a permanent endowment capable of supporting development initiatives over the long term.

Sources of Capital

The proposed capitalisation framework identifies several potential sources:

  • Founding Waqif: governments, sovereign institutions and other founding contributors.

  • Institutional Waqif: organisations committing capital to the wider waqf ecosystem.

  • Strategic Partners: institutions supporting general waqf sector development.

  • Development & Impact Partners: partners selecting general waqf development as a designated initiative.

  • Corporate Waqf Allocations: eligible allocations from designated corporate waqf distributions.

  • Individual Contributions: eligible contributions through approved waqf contribution channels.

Preserving the Waqf Corpus

The Fund's model distinguishes the permanent endowment corpus from the income and returns generated through its investment.

The corpus is intended to be preserved in perpetuity, while annual usufruct is allocated to approved development purposes, institutional support and reinvestment in accordance with the approved governance and Shari’ah framework.
