Sunni Endowment Office

The Sunni Endowment Office, or Sunni Endowment Diwan (Arabic: ديوان الوقف السني, romanized: Diwan al-Waqf al-Suniyi), is an Iraqi agency created by the Iraqi Governing Council after the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. It was created from the dissolution of the Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs under former Ba'ath rule, separating from it the religious endowments (awqaf) of Shiite Islam and non-Islamic religions.

Its function is the administration of mosques and other endowments of Sunnis in Iraq.
