About
A family foundation, built for the long term.
The Abood Family Foundation is a private family foundation, established in the Dubai International Financial Centre as a lasting home for the family’s shared legacy, values and continuity.
Legacy
Family legacy
A family’s legacy is more than what it has built. It is its name, its conduct and the trust it has earned over time.
The Foundation exists to preserve that legacy with care: to hold what the family values in common, to set down the principles by which its affairs are governed, and to pass both on, intact and well understood, to those who follow.
