Our story

From Family Land to a Legacy of Giving

A family chose to transform part of its legacy into a fund for giving. This is how Majeedia Trust began, and where it is heading.

  1. 1

    Family land

    A decision rooted in family

    A parent made the decision to sell family-owned land and to dedicate the proceeds to charitable purposes. Land that had belonged to the family would now serve others.

  2. 2

    Initial fund

    Establishing the family fund

    The proceeds established the foundation of the family’s charitable fund, an initial fund of approximately ₹65 lakh.

    Charitable support

    Continuing to give

    Since then, the family has continued to support charitable activities through its own resources and contributions, including Zakat where applicable. Support has reached widows, children and students, people with disabilities, families, communities and masjid projects.

  4. 4

    Structured giving

    Giving with structure

    To make sure every contribution is used well, the family is building clear processes: assessing needs, allocating responsibly, recording contributions and allocations, and reviewing activity over time.

  5. 5

    Long-term vision

    Looking to future generations

    The goal is a transparent, structured and sustainable system of giving that can continue for the next 20–30 years, and potentially across future generations of the family.
