| Summary: | This study intends to identify the existing and potential source of funds for Tahfiz Institutions (TIs) in Malaysia. Past literature suggested that sources of funding for non-profit organisations generally will contribute to sustainable funding for TIs survival. The main source of funding for TIs in Malaysia is fees. However, it is insufficient since the amount charged is minimal and most TIs are faced with the problems of uncollectible fees from the poor and needy students. Besides that, the challenge of getting a grant from the government, a lack of donations from the public, and giving free accommodation and fees to asnaf students has troubled TIs to maintain their cash in-flow. Therefore, TIs should seek other sources of revenue to generate sustainable financing, which can potentially lead to their long-term success. We conducted interviews with the top management of six TIs around Kuala Selangor. The findings show that among other sources of funds for the TIs are the contribution from public and corporate organisations, religious funds, and government and business income. In the future, we hope that there will be more government institutions and private sectors involved in the progress of TIs by contributing their expertise and funding to create a future holistic Tahfiz generation. © 2020, Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
