The Egyptian Endowments Authority is the body within Egypt's Ministry of Awqaf responsible specifically for the revenue-generating waqf properties it manages on behalf of the Egyptian state, a mandate distinct from the Ministry's wider religious and mosque-administration functions. No individual founder is recorded; the Authority exists as a body within the Ministry rather than around a named founder or a specific founding date.
That distinction, revenue-generating property on one side, mosque administration and religious affairs on the other, means the Authority's own reporting speaks specifically to the commercial and financial side of Egypt's waqf system rather than to its religious functions, which the wider Ministry handles through its own separate departments.
The Authority periodically reports its own revenue figures through the Ministry's public statements rather than through a separately published annual account of its own, so its financial visibility depends on when and how often the Ministry chooses to speak publicly about the Authority's specific revenue performance for a given period.
