How Your Donations Leave a Legacy

Whether it’s a one-off donation or recurring donations to the Awqaf Australia Endowment Fund, our mission is to maximise the returns on your donations to be then given as grants to initiatives and charities across your selected endowment categories.

For your cash donations, like the Awqaf Australia Forever Fund, your donation to the Awqaf Australia Endowment Fund is given a waqf status with the intent to preserve your donation indefinitely. This is achieved by investing the donation to generate income and returns. These returns are then used to:

  1. 1Create and distribute charitable grants to any charity or initiative supporting the endowment category.
  2. 2Sustain the Endowment Fund by covering any management fees.
  3. 3Increase the underlying donation capital or asset to allow for larger future grants. Imagine getting returns on your forever donation that keeps on giving till the day of judgement; a true everlasting sadaqah jariyah and waqf.

Partnering for Greater Impact

At Awqaf, we believe in partnerships to enable the biggest impact to the community.

As such we have partnered with Koda Capital, Granada Asset Management and Invest Wholesum to help drive a collaborative approach to investment returns on your donations. This diversified approach allows for risk adjusted returns on investments while keeping capital preservation as the key focus.

To ensure we drive sustainable returns on all our funds, we review the performance of all partners and overall investments on at least an annual basis.
