Ensuring long-term support for Muslim students at Stanford
The Alhambra endowment is a permanent fund designed to provide sustainable, long-term financial support for our programs and services. Unlike annual donations, the endowment is invested and managed to generate ongoing income while preserving the principal for future generations.
An endowment provides financial independence from university budget constraints and changing administrations. This ensures that Alhambra can continue serving Muslim students regardless of external factors.
With financial independence comes the ability to serve students without institutional restrictions. We can maintain our mission and values consistently, providing spiritual support that a secular institution cannot fully offer.
An endowment ensures that future generations of Muslim students at Stanford will have access to the same level of support and resources, creating a lasting legacy of spiritual and communal well-being.
Endowment funds are professionally managed and invested to generate returns while preserving the principal.
A portion of the endowment's returns is used annually to support programs, while the principal continues to grow.
Over time, the endowment grows, allowing us to expand our services and impact more students.
The endowment provides a permanent source of funding that will support Muslim students for generations to come.
