## **Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts** 31[st] March 2025 Charity name: **The Quran Foundation** Charity registration number: **1193847** ## Annual Report and Accounts For Year End 31[st] March 2025 Annual Report and Accounts For the Year Ended 31st March 2025 **The Quran Foundation** Charity Number: 1193847 ## **Overview** The Quran Foundation UK continues to remain committed to its core mission of promoting the message of the Quran and improving access to its teachings across different languages and formats. During the year ended 31st March 2025, the charity maintained steady progress despite operating on a modest scale. The trustees continue to demonstrate strong commitment, focus, and ambition to move the project forward, particularly in relation to making the Quran more widely accessible through digital means. ## **Distribution and Accessibility** The Foundation’s main project, _Mawahibur Rahman Manzoom Tarjuman Quran_ , remains central to its activities. This unique poetic Urdu translation of the Quran continues to be recognised as a valuable contribution for Urdu-speaking audiences, preserving both meaning and literary depth. During the year, activity focused primarily on maintaining availability of existing printed and digital resources rather than large-scale new distribution. Digital accessibility remains a key priority, with trustees exploring opportunities to make Quranic content more easily available online and through future digital platforms, ensuring broader reach for individuals who may not have access to physical copies. ## **Strategy and Outreach** Trustees remain ambitious and forward-looking in their strategy. Key areas of focus include: - Developing digital access to Quranic resources. - Strengthening online presence and awareness. - Exploring future fundraising initiatives to support sustainability. The long-term vision remains aligned with widening access to Quranic knowledge globally, with particular emphasis on digital solutions. ## **Achievements and Engagements** While the year did not include any public events or exhibitions, the Foundation successfully continued to generate donations and maintain supporter engagement. Trustees consider this a positive indicator of continued trust and goodwill from donors despite limited operational activity. ## **Future Outlook and Public Benefit** Looking ahead, the trustees are focused on expanding the public benefit delivered by the charity through the development of a **digital Quran distribution initiative** . This project aims to make Quranic content easily accessible to individuals worldwide, regardless of geographic location or physical access to printed materials. By prioritising digital delivery, the Foundation seeks to reach a broader and more diverse audience, including younger generations and individuals with visual, literacy, or accessibility barriers. Trustees believe this approach will significantly enhance public benefit by enabling wider engagement with Quranic teachings in a cost-effective and sustainable manner, aligned with the charity’s objectives and resources. ## **Financial Sustainability** The charity continues to rely primarily on general donations as its principal source of income. During the year ended 31st March 2025, total income amounted to £1,750.48, with minimal expenditure of £59.25 relating to miscellaneous costs. This resulted in a positive operating balance for the year. The Foundation operates a **100% donation policy** . Trustees do not receive any remuneration, nor do they claim travel or other expenses. All administrative, IT, and book storage costs are personally absorbed by trustees and supporters, ensuring that donations received are directed entirely towards charitable purposes. Trustees remain mindful of funding risks associated with reliance on donations and are actively seeking to raise additional funds to support the development of the Foundation’s **digital Quran distribution project** . This initiative aims to enable easy and wide-ranging access to Quranic resources for individuals worldwide, supporting the charity’s long-term vision for global digital accessibility. Trustees continue to plan prudently while preparing for future growth. ## **Governance and Leadership** Trustees remained responsible for the strategic direction and governance of the charity throughout the year.
