Making Waqf more accessible through digital innovation

The General Directorate of Endowments in Qatar has joined forces with the Snoonu app to launch an innovative Waqf contributions service, making it easier for individuals to support and discover Waqf projects across the country. The partnership combines the expertise of the Directorate in managing Waqf initiatives with Snoonu's digital infrastructure and extensive reach.

Users can browse available Waqf projects, learn about their objectives, choose the opportunity they wish to support, and securely contribute using their bank cards. The service will also regularly update project information on the Snoonu platform, enabling users to direct their contributions based on their preferences and the conditions of their Waqf.

This initiative aligns with the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs' 2025-2030 strategy, focusing on innovation, institutional development, strategic partnerships, and digital transformation of services. For Snoonu, the collaboration reflects its commitment to leveraging technology to make national services more accessible, following its role as a technology partner in the digitalization of various national services, including Tamween.

Mr. Rashid Tuwaim Al Marri, Director of the Waqf Funds Affairs Department at the General Directorate of Endowments, emphasized the partnership's role in expanding and diversifying the ways people can contribute to Waqf, making access to Waqf projects more convenient. He also stressed the importance of adhering to the conditions set by the Waqif when managing and distributing Waqf proceeds, ensuring that they continue to fulfill their intended purpose.

Snoonu's Business Development Director, Mr. Abdulrahman Al Qahtani, highlighted the expansion of the Waqf ecosystem through this new service, joining a diverse network of channels already available through the Directorate, such as its digital application, website, bank card payments, SMS service, in-person contributions, collection representatives, and rapid collection services.

The addition of Snoonu to this network further broadens access to Waqf opportunities, demonstrating both organizations' shared commitment to utilizing digital solutions to enhance participation and simplify the discovery and support of Waqf projects.
