The MBI Al Jaber Foundation supports projects that promote better understanding between the peoples of the Middle East and the wider world, especially in Europe but also with the United States and elsewhere. The Foundation's focus is on educational and cultural projects, and it concentrates on forging partnerships rather than simply giving grants.
Any individual or organisation can submit a proposal for funding to the MBI Al Jaber Foundation. To be considered, projects need to meet the agreed aims of the Foundation. In general, successful projects are usually conducted in partnership with other likeminded individuals or institutions. Projects should be submitted to the MBI Al Jaber Foundation via post or e-mail. All project proposal applications to the MBI Al Jaber Foundation should include a full proposal including the coversheet found in the Projects Section of the website along with a detailed budget and any other supporting documents. Applicants should be prepared to give a presentation to the Director and the Head of Projects and, if necessary, the Board of Trustees. Proposals are then submitted to the Trustees for consideration and approval.
