About us

A registry, not a fund

Pakistan Diaspora Fund exists to make one thing visible: how much capital overseas Pakistanis would commit to their country, and on what terms. It holds no money, manages no assets, and asks for no transfer. It counts intent — publicly, and in writing.

What this is

A public record of conditional intent

Pakistan does not lack people willing to invest in it. It lacks a way to prove how many there are. Remittances arrive every month and are spent; investment waits on something else entirely. This platform makes the waiting measurable.

A registry, publicly counted Every commitment is recorded with its sector, amount and country of residence, and rolled into totals anyone can read.

Conditional by design Each pledge is tied to the Principles — nine governance conditions. Until all nine hold, the commitment stays exactly where it is.

Names are never published The registry publishes country, city, sector and amount. It does not publish who you are.

Revocable at any time A pledge can be amended or withdrawn by the person who made it, without giving a reason.

Who is behind it

An overseas-Pakistani initiative, run in the open

The Fund was started by overseas Pakistani professionals and business owners who had the same conversation in too many cities. It is organised as a civic platform rather than a financial institution, and its work is deliberately narrow.

A founding group Overseas Pakistani professionals — in technology, medicine, manufacturing and finance — who fund the platform's running costs themselves.

Country chapters Volunteer leads in the largest diaspora markets, responsible for outreach and for verifying that entries from their country are genuine.

An advisory group Legal, audit and policy advisers who review how the Principles are assessed and how that assessment is published.

Published assessments The registry's reading of each condition is published with its sources, so it can be argued with rather than simply believed.

Named biographies for the founding group, chapter leads and advisers are published as each person confirms their public role. If you would like to take one of these roles, see Join us.

What we are not

The limits are the point

A platform that asks for money would be a different platform, with different obligations. This one is built so that the question of trust never has to arise.

Not a fundNo pooled capital, no assets under management, no returns offered.

Not a payment systemThere is no way to send money through this site, by design.

Not a government bodyNo affiliation with the Government of Pakistan, any political party, or any state institution.

Not a licensed financial entityNothing here is investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation.

Not a KYC processNo CNIC, passport, bank details or income documents are ever requested.

Not bindingEvery commitment is revocable, at any time, by the person who made it.
