The Fathers’ Endowment campaign, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, has raised over AED 3.3 billion since its inception.

Honouring fathers in the UAE, the campaign aims to create a sustainable endowment fund, with proceeds dedicated to providing healthcare and treatment for those in need.

The outstanding success of the initiative has been fuelled by the wide support of contributors, including businesses, individuals, and both public and private sector organisations, showcasing the UAE's strong culture of philanthropy.

Since its launch on February 21, more than 160,500 donors have contributed, underlining the campaign's role in improving the quality of life for vulnerable communities and driving broader development.

Mohammad Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs and Secretary-General of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, praised the record-breaking results, highlighting the profound impact of Sheikh Mohammed’s Ramadan initiatives.

The campaign is welcoming donations from individuals and institutions through several channels, including its website, a dedicated call centre, bank transfers and SMS options. Contributions can also be made through the DubaiNow app and Jood, Dubai’s community contributions platform.
