Abstract

This study is regarding the empowerment of philanthropic funds in a public university in Malaysia, namely Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI). This qualitative research involves document review method. The findings show that UPSI has established three main entities that play a significant role in philanthropy-based funding, namely the Welfare, Services, and Student Housing Section, the Welfare Unit of the Human Resources Division of UPSI, and the establishment of the Wakaf, Endowment, Zakat, Charity, and Donation Center (WEZAS). Philanthropy-based funding is derived from government funds, tuition fees, and public donations. Public donations consist of waqf fund, endowment, almsgiving, welfare fund, and charity. These funds have been used for the benefit of UPSI members and the general public through various schemes, with each source of funding being managed based on its respective guidelines. This study shows that philanthropic funds play a significant role in supporting university finances for welfare purposes and educational infrastructure at UPSI in particular and at Malaysian public universities in general.
