In line with the best tradition of Islamic waqf trusts and Western approaches to endowments, the Diwān maintains an actively managed endowment to support its ongoing mission and projects inter-generationally. The purpose of the endowment is to provide steady support for the Diwān's future and current needs, while preserving real value for future generations. Accordingly, a percentage of any money raised is earmarked for the endowment to help achieve this goal.
