The public, in general, may still be unaware of the availability of cash waqf even though it was introduced a long time ago. This is proven with the insignificant contribution of the Muslims to cash waqf. The question to ponder here is why the public is still not contributing to cash waqf. Could some factors influence them to contribute? Contributing to cash waqf is essential as it could add to the well-being of the beneficiaries. This study aims at identifying the factors that influence the awareness of the public in contributing to cash waqf. This study employed a quantitative research method by collecting primary data through a survey. Since the population is the public, simple random sampling was used to draw the samples. A total of 160 respondents had fulfilled the distributed questionnaires entirely, and all were useable for the study. Data were analysed using descriptive and hypothesis testing method by using of multiple regression. The study found that respondents’ understanding and religiosity are the significant factors that influenced them to contribute to cash waqf. Findings of this study are expected to help waqf institutions in planning strategic actions to inculcate greater understanding among the public on cash waqf hence increasing the overall collection of cash waqf in the country.
