Term waqf, or wakaf berjangka, is a form of Islamic endowment where a donor contributes capital for a fixed period. Unlike a perpetual waqf, the principal is preserved and returned to the donor at the end of the term, while the returns generated during that period are channelled to social programs.

Governance is central. Funds are held by an independent custodian, managed by a nazhir registered with the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) together with an investment manager licensed by the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and overseen by a Sharia Supervisory Board. Term waqf is recognised within Islamic jurisprudence and supported by Indonesia's Law No. 41 (2004) on Waqf and its implementing regulation.

Kalayudha Foundation currently works with a BWI-licensed nazhir and an OJK-licensed investment manager. This page is general education, not an offer; specific schemes are subject to Sharia board and regulatory approval.
