The World Subud Association has an important aim to promote the entrepreneurial spirit and to support the development of Subud in partnership with and through members’ projects.
As a registered non-profit tax-exempt organization, the WSA cannot provide finance to individual members’ for-profit enterprises and cannot seek investment from Subud members for private for-profit businesses. However, the WSA can provide access to a network of experts and other support for members’ projects, so long as the projects concerned advance the aims of the WSA. WSA can also provide training and educational programs that promote the entrepreneurial spirit.
Support for social and other projects is provided by Susila Dharma International Association: www.susiladharma.org.
The Muhammad Subuh Foundation also provides financial support to individual projects: www.msubuhfoundation.org.
