Edgo’s founder, Munib R. Masri, has launched a research and development endowment fund at the University of Jordan. The Al-Quds Endowment for Scientific Research and Quality of Education will support scientific research, enhance education, and expand opportunities for students from Jordan and Palestine.

Seeding the fund with a donation of $1.4 million from the Masri Foundation, Mr. Masri announced that Edgo will also contribute $140,000 annually to the fund for the next ten years. In early 2016, construction will begin at the University of Jordan on a dedicated center for the endowment.

The research and development endowment will foster partnerships between leading regional and international universities, including Al-Quds University in Jerusalem, Palestine, promote scientific research in areas of common interest, and encourage the exchange of academic staff and students.

In 2007, the Munib & Angela Masri Foundation established the Institute of Energy and Natural Resources at the American University of Beirut (AUB) to support and promote energy research.
