ADAMS Endowment FundADAMS Endowment Fund

ADAMS has established an endowment or a “waqf” fund to provide an ongoing source of funding. AEF will provide financial aid and stability for ADAMS’ present and future services and expansion.

ADAMS Endowment Fund is registered as a tax-exempt charitable organization

Board Members- Dr. Maqsood Chaudhry - Chairman- Br. Aziz Bari – President- Br. Omar Ashraf – Vice President- Sr. Nasreen Mohammed – Secretary/Treasurer- Dr. Ahmad Totonji

Why an Endowment FundWhy an Endowment Fund An endowment or waqf is to “confine” or permanently preserve an

asset and then use the income generated by that asset for a specifically identified charitable purpose.

This means that your gift will keep on giving, which is Sadaqah Jariyah – a perpetual charity.

Giving an endowed gift allows your faith and your good stewardship of what Allah (swt) has given you to reach beyond your lifetime.

You will participate in Allah swt's work along with future generations. Because it is a permanent fund, it will fuel the future for projects not

possible within the limits of the annual operating budget.

How You Can ParticipateHow You Can Participate

By making a gift by check; By making a gift of securities; By contributing real property; By including AEF by bequest in your will; By naming AEF as the beneficiary of a life insurance

policy or other asset such as an IRA; By arranging for a gift in trust, naming a beneficiary for

his or her lifetime, and then have the remainder pass to AEF upon the death of the beneficiary;

By setting up a charitable gift annuity, providing a guaranteed income during your life, with AEF as beneficiary.

How Are Funds UsedHow Are Funds Used

Your endowment is a tax deductible contribution which remains permanently invested.

AEF invests in Sharia compliant investment accounts for the sole purpose of distributing income to ADAMS.

A percentage of investment income is provided to ADAMS. The rest is reinvested.

How Do You BenefitHow Do You Benefit

You can take an immediate tax deduction when you fund the endowment.

You can support your favorite cause on a perpetual basis and reap the rewards of the Sadaqah Jariyah.
