How will your donation be used?
The Jeel Funds supports education through a two-pronged approach to deliver immediate benefits while building for the longer term:
- Over time, part of the funds raised (our target is 50%) will go towards undergraduate scholarships every academic year to our selected universities: The American University of Beirut, The Lebanese American University and L’Université St Joseph de Beyrouth. Read more about our eligibility criteria.
- The balance will be used to build an endowment that we hope will enable us to grow our capabilities and build a long term mechanism to continue to support education in Lebanon. The amounts we place in our endowment will be invested by Impact Lebanon Charity in a mixture of asset classes and managed by a team of volunteer financiers. In other words, if you setup a donation with us, you will be serving Lebanon in the short and long term.
- Our plan is to make sure that over time no more than 5% of donations received may be used for transactions costs and admin purposes by Impact Lebanon Charity. We keep costs low by having an all volunteer, virtual team.
