FAQs

An Endowment Fund is a permanent corpus established to provide long-term financial support for the educational and charitable mission of Anjuman-I-Islam. Unlike one-time donations that are spent immediately, endowment contributions are invested prudently. The principal amount is preserved, while the income generated from the investments is used to fund scholarships, orphan care, student welfare, and other approved institutional initiatives year after year.

When you contribute to the Anjuman-I-Islam Endowment Fund, your donation becomes part of a permanent corpus. The corpus is invested in accordance with the Endowment Policy and applicable laws. While the original contribution remains intact, the investment income is utilized annually to support the purpose specified by the donor or, in the case of pooled funds, the areas of greatest institutional need. This ensures that your contribution continues to make an impact for generations.
