o Documenting intellectual and legal rights.
o Organizing promotional campaigns and public relations.
o Marketing and financial rights.
o Documentation and relations with contributors.
o Marketing endowment shares.

Basic preference standards are as follows:

• The society or institution would be officially registered according to the system applied in its respective country.

• The institution would have good experience: five years at least in its field.

• Its board of directors would include people having a good reputation and high status.

• That it would have branches in all or most of the cities and governorates of its country

• That it would have a clear financial and accounting system, an in-house auditor, and an external legal accountant.

In the first stage, the project signed contracts with seven charity organizations in seven countries. They are as follows:

Makkah Al-Mukarrama Charity Foundation: Saudi Arabia

Islamic Society — The Charity Act: Bahrain

Social Reform Society — Secretariat-General of the Charitable Committees: Kuwait

Charitable Society for Qur'an Education: Yemen

Islamic Education Association: Lebanon

Coming soon: Islamic Education Society: Pakistan

Association of Indonesian Islamic Preachers: Indonesia

Coming soon: Muslim Association of Sweden: Sweden

The project will be launched through planned and timed stages, each of which will include a number of countries. This will take place after the project has been launched, starting to operate all of its administrations, and executing its tasks as regards promotion, marketing, investment, production and distribution. Thus, the first stage is the beginning, and then the circle will later expand to include other countries. This gradual advancement is required to ensure that the reasons for success are present, and will benefit from practical experience to perfect work, raise competence, and gain excellence in performance and accomplishment

It is possible to widen the range of representation when such an association is legally allowed to do so in its respective country. This is so if it has official offices and branches in other countries, and if the project sees that this association is administratively, technically, and financially competent.
