TS-SFD-03 Trust & Stewardship Strategic Fundraising & Development CORE Excellence v2.9.7

Grant-Writing & Institutional Funding Process

Evaluates the systematic process for securing and managing institutional funds. This reflects *Kafāʾah* (competence) and *Riʿāyah* (stewardship), ensuring resources are acquired ethically and managed effectively to serve the community's *Maṣlaḥah* (public interest) and sustain vital services. Pursuing such funding aligns with *Ḥifẓ al-Māl* (preservation of wealth) by securing sustainable financial streams. Furthermore, upholding *Amānah* (trust) in grant-writing demands absolute truthfulness in proposals and rigorous accountability in reporting, fulfilling the covenant with benefactors.
