Philanthropy and Grants

Unlocking our community’s potential, powered by awqaf endowments

Our Philanthropy Approach

We believe in the incredible power and potential of strategic philanthropy. We are creating long-term impact that empowers individuals and strengthens our community through your generosity. All enabled through the power of Awqaf.

Powered by Investments

Our philanthropy strategy is rooted in sustainability: powered by assets under our management and the proceeds of investment from investment activity undertaken by Awqaf Australia.

Robust Decision Making

Our decisions are guided by a robust framework focused on integrity, risk assessment, and community needs, overseen by the Philanthropy Committee to ensure effective impact.

An Experienced Team

Our Philanthropy Committee includes leaders, strategists, and sector experts who guide impactful giving. Their experience ensures meaningful outcomes. Learn More

Our Partnerships

We are all about strong partnerships as a cornerstone of our philanthropy strategy. We partner with existing and established community organisations, charity, and service delivery partners to fulfil the generous intentions of our community.

Service Delivery

At Awqaf Australia, our approach to service delivery centers on deep and meaningful collaborations. We work with trusted organisations to ensure that resources are directed where they are most needed. By fostering partnerships that unlock potential within the community, we amplify the impact of every initiative.

Grants to deserving organisations

We distribute grants to worthwhile causes and organisations based on alignment to our values and to honour the wishes of our donors.

Reporting & Transparency

All our relationships and partnerships are built on transparency and have key reporting requirements of recipient organisations. We report back to our board and the community on the outcomes of our partnerships.
