About iWaqf powered by Wahed:
iWaqf powered by Wahed is an exciting new endowment product, built to democratise waqfs so anyone can create their own. It’s backed by Wahed, the world’s largest Islamic fintech, managing over $2 billion in assets for more than 450,000 investors.
A waqf is a charitable gift that lasts in perpetuity. Instead of a one-time donation, your gift is invested, and the returns are distributed to the charities and causes you choose, year after year.
For centuries, waqfs funded schools, hospitals and wells across the Muslim world. We’re bringing that tradition into the modern day, making it simple, transparent and accessible to everyone.

- Work with charity partners to tell the stories of the causes our donors support
Funnel, analytics and conversion
- Help build and manage the donor funnel, from first touch to waqf created
- Track campaign performance and turn this into donations
- Spot where people drop off and test ideas (A/B tests, copy, landing pages, email flows) to improve conversion
Community and partnerships
- Build relationships with mosques, Islamic societies, community groups and charities
- Drive organic engagement across social media, online communities and forums
- Support the planning and running of online events and webinars
- Work with ambassadors and creators on campaign execution
