Article 12 of the Saudi Alimony Fund Statute

This article explains the sources of the Alimony Fund's money, which are three:

1. The annual subsidy: The money the state contributes as an annual subsidy.
2. Donations and endowments: Donations, grants, gifts, bequests and endowments that the board decides to accept.
3. Other resources: Any other resource the board approves, provided it does not violate the laws and instructions.

Notes:

• Donations and endowments do not enter the Fund's resources automatically; a board decision to accept them is required.
• An additional resource needs the board's approval, and is restricted by not violating the laws and instructions.
• The article does not specify the amount of the state's annual subsidy.

This article opens the door for members of the community and charities to contribute to the Fund by donation, bequest or endowment, supporting its ability to carry out its mission.

It connects to Article 13, which requires all of the Fund's money to be deposited in special accounts with the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority, with spending from them under the rules and procedures the board sets. It also connects to Article 11, which makes spending from the Fund's budget one of the General Manager's tasks, under the laws and regulations and within what the board delegates to him.
