The Qaddumi Foundation, previously known as Hani Qaddumi Scholarship Foundation (HQSF), was established in 2000 to translate the Qaddumi family’s desire to give back to its homeland, Palestine. The family’s values are entrenched in a deep sense of responsibility towards Palestine, in a belief in education and learning as the way forward, and in the importance of investing in the Palestinian Individual now and in the future. The Qaddumi Foundation translates its vision through different initiatives that operate as platforms by building communities to maximize impact. As these communities grow, this will create exponential impact beyond the capacity of the Foundation alone.

The Qaddumi Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation that believes in the power of education and philanthropy to revitalize Palestine. Through societal analysis, scholarships and partnerships with like-minded organizations, it aims to develop and advance the Palestinian society.
