History
The civil war in Lebanon between 1975 and 1990 and the civil unrest in 2008 had left behind casualties, wounded, orphans, disabled and widows. The absence of a Druze benevolent institution that can provide the immediate and continuous financial support if an occurring incident results in casualties, wounded or disabled has led to the idea of founding a Druze Endowment Fund that can grow o
ver time from the continuous contributions of donors and secure from its annual income a continuous financial support. The Safety Nets Foundation is a Druze endowment fund unique in its kind. It was registered in Lebanon on 24th of May 2012 with the minis try of interior under number 911, as a charitable and non-profit organization aiming at providing financial support to the families of our martyrs in the present and in the future (May God Forbid) and in general to those who are in need among our people. Also it shall be registered in USA as a 501(c)(3) public foundation, so that it can receive tax deductible contributions. Concept
This foundation shall develop the concept of the social responsibility in a way to change it from mere donations that end when its circumstance ends, to a concept that is built on the continuous benefit from the benevolent deed as an investment in the development of the capabilities of those who are in need among our people.
