MissionThe Muhammad Subuh Foundation honors the name of the founder of Subud, Bapak Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo. It serves to build a lasting financial capacity for the Subud community, with emphasis on the long-term aims of the World Subud Association.

VisionThe Foundation envisages a Subud community that is ac-tive and effective in the world, in many fields of human en-deavor. It supports this vision by providing financial and other assistance to a wide-range of activities and programs aimed at improving the condition of the communities they serve, including social and humanitarian work, cultural endeavors, child and youth projects, and others.

The year 2011 was one of change for the board, with three trustees ap-pointed: Heloise Jackson from the UK, Hannah Baerveldt from Indonesia, for a second 4-year term, and myself. I had the privilege to take over the Founda-tion chairmanship from Samuel Si-monsson, my neighbor in Spain, which facilitated a smooth hand over.

The Foundation has three main areas of activity: managing the financial port-folios and physical assets held by the Foundation on behalf of WSA, fundrais-ing, and providing financial support to the programs and the activities of the Subud community.

A prudent, actively managed trad-ing portfolio minimized the effects of the difficult world financial situation in 2011. Adjustments to the Foundation’s grant policy and procedures were made to strengthen the Foundation’s sup-port to Subud international organiza-tions, including WSA, SDIA and SICA. Improvements to Subud House grant procedures initiated in 2009 were ex-panded to include new procedures to evaluate grant requests.

The Foundation provided $105,000 of support to the Subud community, which consist of a $ 60,000 grant to WSA, a $ 25,000 grant for social and humani-tarian projects and $ 20,000 for Subud house development. The Subud Houses program also includes loans totaling about $ 120,000 that benefit nine coun-tries, including six in Latin America.

chairman’s letter

In June 2011, MSF and WSA jointly recognized the urgency and importance of an Archives Preservation Program. As a result, the Foundation initiated two archives projects to assist WSA. A one-year $ 210,000 project for the preser-vation of the sound recordings of Bap-ak’s talks began in December 2011. The Foundation also began preparing for a major fundraising drive, known as the Legacy Project, to raise $ 1,000,000 for the 12-year budget (2013 – 2026) of the WSA archives program that will be launched in November 2012.

After a year as a Foundation trustee and chairman, I feel that it is a bless-ing and a privilege to serve the Subud community in this way. It is an opportu-nity to witness that it is possible to give a noble and high content to the use of the funds given by the Subud members from all round the world when caring for the growth of the Subud community from the right inner place.

For this reason, I wish to invite you to support the work of the Foundation, not only financially, but above all, with your prayers and positive feelings, so the present Foundation team can contribute to the noble mission of the Muhammad Subuh Foundation.

Warmest regards

Bachtiar Lorot

• Assure the long-term financial capacity of Subud

• Preserve Bapak and Ibu Rahayu’s talks for future generations

• Care for WSA non-financial assets

• Foster the creation of new Subud houses as well as improve current ones

• Support the work and travel of International Helpers

• Strengthen the development of Subud through capacity building of its

organizations

• Support the work and projects of our partner organizations – SDIA and SICA.

During its annual meeting in Indonesia, the Foundation trustees selected seven strategic goals, or Foundation programs, for their long-term impact to provide for the long-term needs and development of Subud. These are:

highlights2011 was a time of progress for MSF, both within the organization and in its work of providing key support to many essential parts of the international Sub-ud community in an effort to strengthen Subud as a whole.

WSA and MSF are working closely to-gether for the well being of our organi-zation. To date, the Muhammad Subuh

preserving our legacyIn designing the Foundation programs for the long term development of Sub-ud, the Board of Trustees was moved to join the WSA effort in preserving the original audio tapes of Bapak’s talks, the heritage of the Subud community. Those archives represent the legacy that Bapak has given to humankind, and it is incumbent upon all of us to look after and care for this valuable inheritance. 2011 saw the signing of an agreement with the WSA to take

over not just the funding of the Legacy project to preserve and restore Bapak’s audio tapes but to also implement this project. That same year MSF signed a contract with an expert archival compa-ny in Belgium to professionally preserve and restore all 1315 surviving talks. A recent review of these tapes found 85% can be digitized without restoration. Today we don’t how many recordings will be lost until the end of the digitiza-tion process.

Foundation has provided approximately $2.5 Million in funding since 1996 in order to strengthen Subud activities. This is a significant amount and hope-fully only the beginning of what the Foundation and all Subud members can accomplish. In that way, the Subud membership, MSF and WSA can help take Subud forward in the way that Bapak intended.

“The original records of Bapak’s talks represent an extraordinary asset for Subud members today and especially for future generations of people who never met Bapak and wish to worship Almighty God through the latihan kejiwaan (spiritual practice) of Subud. And so, the preservation of Bapak’s voice to the best quality technology can provide, has come to this generation of Subud members to safeguard, and together can make this project a reality.”Hannah Baerveldt, Trustee

in 2011 MSF entered into a new Settle-ment Agreement with Yayasan Muham-mad Subuh (YMS) regarding Adi Puri that, in part, allows YMS more flexibility in how it can manage Adi Puri. MSF also completed a loan settlement agreement with Yayasan Muhammad Subuh. This agreement was primarily an accounting formality to more accurately reflect the reality of the financial situation between the two partner organizations. It also acknowledged the fact that the YMS is holding the assets of the World Subud Association that are commonly known as “Bapak’s Big House” and the “Archive house”.

The Muhammad Subuh Foundation also signed a Memorandum of Understand-ing with Yayasan Subud (YS). The MoU states that YS recognizes that certain assets, such as the latihan hall and guest house at Wisma Subud, are as-sets of the World Subud Association.

YS still retains management control and is responsible for covering the costs of taxes, maintenance, repairs, and insur-ance for the property.

A new MSF website was launched in 2011. Considerable efforts were put into the creation of this new comprehensive website which now includes extensive information on bequests and charitable giving.

Samuel Simonsson resigned as trustee and chairman in early 2011. His integ-rity, professionalism and expertise are greatly missed by the Board. After serv-ing two terms as trustee, Ibu Ismana Haryono retired; the Board very much appreciated her dedication and service over the years. Our appreciation also goes to Shyam Wadhera who retired in 2011 after serving as trustee for two years.

strengthening our partners

At the annual meeting in Indonesia in June 2011, the World Subud Council and the Muhammad Subuh Founda-tion jointly appointed Bachtiar Lorot as chairman of the Foundation. Appointed by the WSC to four-year terms as trus-tees were Bachtiar Lorot, Heloise Jack-son and Hannah Baerveldt, who con-tinues into her second term. Remaining trustees fulfilling their current terms are Olvia Reksodipoetro, Lawrence Fryer (treasurer), Lailani Moody, and Luke Penseney (ex-officio).

funds

“ After discussion with my wife Hannah, we decided that when each of us passes away, we will make a bequest to the Muhammad Subuh Foundation to further its work which is essentially in furthering the work of Bapak.” Konrad Baerveldt, MSF Donor

“ If you want Subud to grow and be more than what it is today. no question you need money. you need money to build a college, you need money to build houses for Subud members, hospitals this is what Bapak envisioned for us to do these things Money is extremely important... so how do we get it? The best way to get it is when a person passes on, he leaves his money to the Muhammad Subuh Foundation maybe not all of it he has children but leave something to MSF and youll see it grow. “ Peter Fillippelli, Former MSF Chair

In an effort to increase the Foundation’s capacity to attract and manage be-quests and endowments, a permanent Foundation committee called the MSF Endowment Advisory Committee has been proposed and presented on the new website. This framework provides donors with the opportunity to contrib-ute to the oversight and management of their own, and other, endowments and bequests. As this is a permanent committee, without terms of service, it is envisaged that a knowledgeable resource-pool can be developed to as-sist current and future trustees with their endowment responsibilities.

The increase in the numbers of coun-tries wishing to establish their own national endowments is of great con-cern to the Foundation, as the creation of national bequests could adversely impact the ability of the Foundation to attract bequests and endowments un-der the umbrella of MSF. To address this challenge, the MSF Endowment Advi-sory Committee framework includes the opportunity of a national representative to provide input on the management

bequests and endowments

national endowments

• The Bapak Legacy Fund which was designed to promote lasting financial capacity for the Subud Association. It is a permanently-restricted fund whose principal is held in perpetuity and only the income and appreciation on the funds may be distributed.• The Francois & Lucienne Farkas Endow-ment Fund supports educational opportu-nities and programs for young people in need around the world, and helps make Bapak’s talks widely available.• The Leonard & Aisah Parker Endowment Fund benefits the development of Subud houses in Australia.

and oversight of their national endow-ment under the auspices of MSF. How-ever, due to the technical inability of MSF to provide tax benefits to donors within all countries, an alternative ap-proach would be to sign Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) between MSF and the national committees forming their own national endowments, so that mutual support and coordination is achieved.

Bapak confirmed that the role of the Muhammad Subuh Foundation is to serve as the receptacle to receive the bequests of Subud members for the long-range stability and development of Subud.

In the mid 1960’s, when Varindra was chairman of the World Subud Council he had a dream that led to the devel-opment of Subud and in 1991 to the establishment of the Muhammad Subuh Foundation

“I saw a big building and on its white marble façade were the words: ‘Muhammad Subuh Foundation’. When I en-tered the building, it seemed to be a formal place like a bank, but instead of money what I saw was a stack of legal documents which turned out to be people’s Wills and Testaments in which Subud members had willed a portion of their assets as bequests to the Brotherhood.”

Varindra told his dream to Bapak, who explained:“Your dream is a true dream. It is right that you start work on establishing such a Foundation to look after be-quests of Subud members. But Bapak asks that as long as Bapak is in this world it should not be called Muhammad Subuh Foundation. Better call it Subud Brotherhood In-ternational Foundation.”

Varindra’s dream for MSF

The Muhammad Subuh Foundation currently has three endowment funds:

“ If you have a place for latihan [the spiritual practice of Subud] which is really big and open and wide enough for all of you, and really suitable - this will itself give you ad-ditional enthusiasm to do the latihan more; and it is this enthusiasm which will lead you quickly to receive more and deeper guidance which will be of greater use for your life.”

washington dcWashington D.C., USA: The trustees ap-proved a grant of $20,000 and a loan of $20,000 to help with the construction of a new Subud Center near Washing-ton D.C.

This new DC Center has been chosen as the future location of the SUBUD USA (SUSA) National Office. It has been designed for Regional activities; it will include two large meeting halls, a full kitchen, a small studio apartment, an additional bedroom, and spacious grounds for gardening, wandering, and camping. Perhaps one day this DC Center will also serve as a National or even an International Center.

Mina Clavero, Argentina: A $13,000 loan to replace the roof of the Subud house in Mina Clavero was approved in 2011. In the 90s, the Muhammad Subuh Foundation had already assisted this group with a grant and loan to build their house in a popular mountain resort in the central region of the Ar-gentines. The principal use of the house is for the spiritual practice of Subud and social gatherings of members. Members of the public also use the house for seminars, teachers’ meetings, gradua-tions, baptisms etc.

The following additions to the portfolio were made during 2011:• Additional inflation-linked bonds and a euro covered-bond fund.• Increased positions in several US bond funds. • Six additions to the equity portfolio, most of which provide currency diversification. • Small positions in high yield bond funds and an international (excluding the US) real estate fund, which provides both currency diversification and exposure to the global real estate market.

Target asset allocation for 2011 was 10% cash, 35% fixed income, 45% equity and 10% other assets. The following movement towards the target allocation oc-curred during the year:

• Cash was reduced from 50.5% to 30.2%• Fixed Income increased from 21.1% to 29.9%• Equity increased from 26.9% to 32.8%• Other Assets increased from 1.5% to 7.

By year end, each category was about halfway to achieving its target allocation, with the exception of the equity allocation. Steep and sudden swings in asset prices during the year, particularly in equity markets, made further investments challenging. In addition, further investment opportunities in fixed income proved difficult in an environment of low interest rates and weakness in global debt mar-kets, as many countries worked to reduce their debt levels.

The value of MSF’s managed investment portfolio at 31 December 2011 was USD 2,472,859, which represents a 2 percent decline in portfolio value for the year. The primary components of the loss were

• A decline in the value of the non-US equity portion of the portfolio with devel-oped markets (excluding the US) down between 10% and 20% (in USD) and emerging markets down 11% (in USD). US equities gained 2% in 2011, which effectively represents their dividend yield.

• A decline in the value of the euro relative to the US dollar

• The declines in the value of equities and the euro were offset by good perfor-mance in US government and US corporate bonds, in particular US Tips (inflation-linked bonds)

The economy is challenging, with governments and enterprises dealing with excessive debt, historically low interest rates, threats of long-term inflation that would reduce the value of fixed income securities, many developed economies slowing to near recession levels, emerging markets experiencing slower growth, and the Eurozone facing a challenge to its monetary integrity as well as continu-ing economic weakness.

In this economic environment, MSF is likely to consider portfolio moves similar to those made in 2011, including the following:

• Currency diversification: Investing small amounts in fixed income and equity securities denominated in reserve currencies other than the US dollar and the euro, such as the British pound, the yen and the Swiss franc, and in other strong currencies, such as the Norwegian krona and the Singapore dollar.

• Fixed income: Additions to fixed income securities will continue to focus on inflation-linked and short-duration bonds.

• Equity securities: Given the low yields on fixed income and the risk of inflation, equities should perform better over the mid- to long-term. However, an economic downturn would negatively impact equities in the short-term. With volatility in equity markets, purchases of equities will be made during periods of market weakness and will favour large companies and high dividend-paying companies.

• Other assets: Investments in real property should provide additional yield and inflation protection.
