Dubai, UAE – [28 March 2025]: The Tariq Al Futtaim Foundation (TAF), an investment management foundation based in the Dubai International Financial Centre, has contributed AED 3 million to the Fathers’ Endowment campaign. This initiative was launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to establish a sustainable endowment fund that provides healthcare for the less fortunate while promoting values of compassion, respect, and family honour.

For us, at the Tariq Al Futtaim Foundation, this contribution embodies the values that guide our work. Strong families, led with clarity and care, are essential for building communities rooted in stability, accountability, and shared purpose. The principles behind the Fathers’ Endowment, responsibility, generosity, and long-term commitment reflect the same values that define our mission to protect, grow, and manage wealth with intent.

“Ramadan is a chance to pause, reflect, and focus on what matters the most: family, faith, and the legacy we leave behind. As the month comes to a close, I am especially grateful to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum for launching the Fathers’ Endowment initiative. It is a powerful call to generosity and a recognition of the responsibility that comes with guiding and providing for others.

It is also a meaningful opportunity to honour my late father, Majid Al Futtaim, and the principles he lived by. His values continue to shape how I think about purpose, legacy, and responsibility. Through the Tariq Al Futtaim Foundation, I am committed to carrying those values forward and contributing to a future where wealth is managed with ambition, care, and in service of the generations to come.” – said Mr Tariq Al Futtaim.

Honouring Legacy, Building for the Future

The contribution to the Fathers’ Endowment campaign reflects TAF’s commitment to creating lasting impact by ensuring that financial decisions are guided by a sense of responsibility and purpose. The Foundation remains dedicated to fostering initiatives that strengthen community welfare while preserving the principles that guide responsible wealth management for generations to come.
