Endowment with charitable motives has a long history in Iranian history, and the endowment institution has become the source of religious, scientific, and cultural services. Kerman has also been considered a political, scientific, and cultural center in southeastern Iran since ancient times, and for this reason, attention has been paid to education and the establishment of educational centers. This research examines the national and religious cultural functions of endowment in Kerman during the Safavid era. The objectives of the research include understanding the role of endowment in establishing scientific and educational centers, and directing the religious and cultural affairs of the society. The research hypotheses confirm the study of the impact of endowment on educational development and guiding the ruling thought. The research method is descriptive-analytical, and data were extracted from documentary sources such as endowment letters, historical documents, and architectural works of Kerman. The findings show that endowment has contributed to economic development, reduced inequalities, promoted Shiism, and strengthened cultural identity by providing sustainable resources for urban, educational, and religious infrastructures, and has led to the sustainability of Islamic civilization in Kerman. This institution has been not only a tool for public welfare but also a key factor in social and cultural cohesion.
