Aziz Bari – President - Br. Omar Ashraf – Vice President - Sr. Nasreen Mohammed – Secretary/Treasurer - Dr. Ahmad Totonji

16. 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.
