The Tariq Al Futtaim Foundation (TAF), an investment management foundation based in the Dubai International Financial Centre, has contributed Dhs3m to the Fathers' Endowment campaign.
This initiative, launched by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum—Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai—aims to establish a sustainable endowment fund that provides healthcare for the less fortunate, while promoting values of compassion, respect, and family honour.
At the Tariq Al Futtaim Foundation, this contribution reflects the core values that guide our work. Strong families, led with clarity and care, are essential to building communities rooted in stability, accountability, and shared purpose. The principles behind the Fathers' Endowment—responsibility, generosity, and long-term commitment—mirror the same values that define our mission: to protect, grow, and manage wealth with intention.
This 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 a deep sense of service to future generations,' said Tariq Al Futtaim.
