About the Global Waqf Alliance

The Global Waqf Alliance (GWA) is an international platform uniting governments, institutions, scholars, and innovators to modernize and expand the Waqf (endowment) system for global good.

We believe in transforming faith-based generosity into sustainable socio-economic impact — building ethical economies, empowering communities, and restoring balance to our planet.

“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] that sprouts seven ears; in every ear is a hundred grains...”
— Qur’an, Surah Al-Baqarah 2:261
