Dubai's Endowment and Minors' Trust Foundation (Awqaf Dubai) has reported strong financial growth in assets managed on behalf of minors and incapacitated individuals, reaching AED1.48 billion by the end of 2025 — a 17.4% increase from the previous year.
The figures were presented during Awqaf's 14th Board meeting of 2026, chaired by His Excellency Essa Al Ghurair, Chairman of Awqaf Dubai, alongside Secretary-General His Excellency Ali Mohammed Al Mutawa, board members and department directors.
Total income for 2025 reached AED71.2 million, up 12% year-on-year, while expenses held steady at approximately AED14.4 million. The result was a net operating profit of AED57 million, a 15% rise that reflects the organisation's operational efficiency.
The board reviewed investment performance across 2023, 2024 and 2025, and discussed a forward-looking strategy centred on preserving and growing beneficiary assets while pursuing optimal returns within defined risk parameters.
Al Ghurair attributed the results to a disciplined institutional approach, noting that 97% of assets had been allocated to stable investments over the past three years.
"These results underscore the effectiveness of our investment policies in preserving assets and maximising returns, in line with the leadership's vision to direct endowment work towards supporting national development plans,"
he said.
Al Mutawa added that Awqaf Dubai continues to align its financial systems with international best practices, reinforcing both asset management efficiency and community trust. He noted the organisation will continue adopting advanced strategies to diversify investments for the long-term benefit of beneficiaries and their families.
