During the ceremony, agreements were signed for each developer to build an endowment building within MBRGI’s education complex in Dubai Academic City.

The "Fathers’ Endowment" campaign started during Ramadan and is focused on helping poor and needy people in the UAE by providing them with essential medical services. The goal is to set up hospitals, provide medical equipment, improve healthcare facilities, and enhance treatment services, especially for those who cannot afford it.

Mohammad Al Gergawi, the Minister of Cabinet Affairs and Secretary-General of MBRGI, signed the agreements with the CEOs of the three companies: Masih Imtiaz from Imtiaz Developments, Imran Farooq from SAMANA Developers, and Siddharth Balachandran from Buimerc Corporation Ltd. The total value of the endowment buildings will be AED 50 million from Imtiaz Developments, AED 40 million from SAMANA Developers, and AED 20 million from Buimerc Corporation Ltd.

The money generated from these buildings will be used to support the Fathers’ Endowment campaign and help improve healthcare services for people in need. This includes building new hospitals, buying medical equipment and medicines, expanding hospital spaces, and improving operating rooms to give better care to those who can't afford it.

Al Gergawi explained that the Fathers’ Endowment campaign reflects Sheikh Mohammed's vision for giving in a sustainable way. Sheikh Mohammed believes that philanthropy is one of the most important ways to create positive changes in society and help those who are less fortunate. Al Gergawi also emphasized that Ramadan campaigns are a key part of the UAE’s global leadership in humanitarian efforts, showing the country’s deep values of kindness and generosity.

"The agreements with Imtiaz Developments, SAMANA Developers, and Buimerc Corporation Ltd. show how philanthropists in the UAE support the country's giving culture. This is a reflection of the generosity seen in past Ramadan campaigns, where donations reached their goals very quickly. It shows that giving is a core value in Emirati culture," Al Gergawi said.

The Fathers' Endowment campaign is part of MBRGI's broader mission and honors fathers by allowing people to donate in their names. It supports values like respect for parents, compassion, and social solidarity, while also reinforcing the UAE’s role as a leader in global philanthropy. The campaign will help create a sustainable healthcare endowment to support those in need and strengthen the UAE's commitment to helping others around the world.

The campaign continues to accept donations from both individuals and organizations through various channels. People can donate through the campaign’s website, Fathersfund.ae, or by calling the campaign’s call center at 800 4999.
