Rising fuel prices in Indonesia are anticipated to trigger significant food price inflation, impacting vulnerable communities. The fluctuation of the US dollar exchange rate exacerbates these economic pressures. A potential solution lies in productive *waqf* (Islamic charitable endowment) funds, which can be strategically utilized to mitigate the effects of price increases. These funds aim to provide a safety net for citizens facing economic hardship due to fuel costs. The initiative seeks to bolster economic resilience at the grassroots level. Utilizing *waqf* assets productively is presented as a means to stabilize food security during periods of economic volatility. This approach offers a community-based response to national economic challenges.
