Strategy for Growing Waqf/Endowment Assets

Assesses whether the organization has a proactive and documented strategy for developing and growing its endowment (waqf) assets to ensure long-term financial sustainability and increase its capacity for charitable work. Note: This criterion covers both the religious designation of 'Waqf' and UK legal classifications. Organizations must clearly distinguish between: (a) Permanent Endowment (capital cannot be spent), (b) Expendable Endowment (capital can be spent under specific conditions), and (c) Designated Funds (unrestricted funds set aside by trustees).
