Why 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.

17
How 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.

18
How 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.

19
How 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.
