The foundation maintains 154 employees, partnerships with universities (UiTM, UniSHAMS, UMPSA Confucius Institute) and other state foundations (Yayasan Sarawak, Yayasan Selangor, Yayasan Peneraju), and a wholly-owned property subsidiary (Sterling Hectares Sdn. Bhd.). Revenue derives from state government allocations for student financial assistance, educational infrastructure, and program administration; no revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
