“We are thrilled to be among contributors to the Mothers’ Endowment campaign, and
               the entity responsible for developing the upcoming campus building in Dubai. We

               strongly believe that investing in the endowment university will reap huge benefits in the
               future, both locally and regionally, positively impacting development efforts while
               solidifying Dubai’s status as a global destination, and an incubator of knowledge,” he

               added.
               Major step

               The endowment university, which aims to provide thousands of students with education
               opportunities, reflects how a culture of endowments has matured and evolved in the

               UAE.
               It is worth pointing out that the world’s top three universities and institutes are
               endowment institutions. Harvard is a private, non-profit university with a US $50.7 billion

               endowment that ranks 1 .  Stanford comes next and is also a private non-profit
                                         st
               university with a US $36.5 billion endowment, while MIT, 3  globally, has a US $23.5
                                                                             rd
               billion endowment.
               Reviving the culture of endowment

               The Mothers’ Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin
               Rashid Al Maktoum on 4 March, is organized under the Mohammed bin Rashid Al

               Maktoum Global Initiatives and allows contributors to honour their mothers by donating
               on their behalf. It aims to provide education and vocational training to underprivileged
               individuals by supporting education across all levels and vocational tracks, allowing

               them a chance to improve their quality of life, build their skills and prepare for the job
               market, which will ultimately drive the stability and development in their communities.

               The campaign seeks to revive the culture of endowments as a development tool that
               ensures sustainable impact and giving, while at the same time highlighting the role of
               mothers in supporting their children’s education. The campaign also establishes the

               values of honouring parents, kindness, compassion and solidarity in the community, and
               further establishes the UAE’s humanitarian role.
