The Muhammad Subuh Foundation (MSF) is a non-profit foundation (US 501c3) that supports the humanitarian aims and long-term goals of the World Subud Association (WSA, also referred to as the Association).
Named in honour of the founder of Subud®, Bapak Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo, the Foundation promotes the vision of a Subud Association that is active and effective in the world in all fields of human endeavour. MSF exists to support this vision by providing financial assistance in a wide-range of areas, including social & humanitarian work, cultural endeavours, and youth projects — to improve the lives of our fellow human beings in meaningful ways. This support is in addition to providing for the long-term needs of Subud such as meeting places, archives, and strengthening the capacity of our organization.
MSF was established in 1991 by WSA to build lasting financial capacity and to care for assets, with dedication to the long-term development of Subud1 and its good works. A fundamental role of the Foundation is give financial and capacity-building support to the various programs and projects of the WSA and its related organizations.
For the period 1996-2009, the Muhammad Subuh Foundation has been able to provide nearly US$2 million in funding to the Subud community and its programs for such fundamental needs as Subud premises, community and personal development, social and humanitarian projects, education, capacity building, creative and artistic expression, publications and communication.
The work of the Muhammad Subuh Foundation is made possible through the generous donations, bequests, planned giving, and testamentary gifts from Subud members around the world. Through prudent investment and management of these assets, the Foundation hopes to achieve long-term financial viability to support the work of the Subud community for generations to come.
