Under the patronage of HRH Faisal bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, IMSIU, represented by the General Secretariat of Endowments, will hold its first annual endowment ceremony on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at the Conference Building in the University City. The event will be attended by senior officials, academic leaders, and key partners from supporting entities.
This ceremony comes as part of the University's efforts to strengthen the role of university endowments as a cornerstone of financial sustainability and a key supporter of education and scientific research. The event will feature the launch of several endowment initiatives and products, the announcement of new community partnerships, and the honoring of donors and supporting entities who have contributed to advancing the endowment sector and enhancing its impact.
The endowments of IMSIU are considered a strategic pillar in sustaining financial resources and enhancing the University's academic and knowledge impact. This is achieved through an integrated institutional framework focused on developing and investing endowment assets according to best practices, thereby supporting educational and research programs, empowering community initiatives, and improving the quality of the University's outcomes.
The endowment sector has achieved several notable milestones, including the development of a diverse portfolio of endowment products and the launch of innovative initiatives aimed at expanding participation in educational endowments. It has also worked on growing endowment assets and maximizing their returns in alignment with financial sustainability goals.
Furthermore, the endowments have established strategic partnerships with government, private, and non-profit entities, contributing to the support of their projects, expanding their societal impact, and enhancing integration across sectors. This reinforces the role of university endowments as a key enabler of sustainable development and a contributor to achieving the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
