Doha: The General Directorate of Endowments at the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs has announced the receipt of a new financial endowment worth QR300,000, generously contributed by a Qatari philanthropist in support of the Al-Birr and Taqwa Endowment Fund.
The donation, managed under the supervision of the Directorate, underscores the growing public awareness and commitment toward sustainable charitable giving through endowments.
In accordance with the donor’s condition, the entire revenue generated from this endowment will be allocated to the Al-Birr and Taqwa Fund.
