Social welfare is considered a part of human life and culture and the development of humanitarian theories with emphasis on the responsibility of all towards each other as well as the development of social and biological sciences has been effective in the emergence of new attitudes about social welfare and poverty reduction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of Ganjai Khan endowments in the social welfare of Kerman citizens with a poverty reduction approach.

The study was all citizens over 18 years of age in Kerman. Based on this, using Cochran's formula, 384 people were selected as the sample size (this number was increased to 400, and finally 390 were used in the final analysis). Sampling was performed based on multi-stage clusters between regions, blocks and finally Kerman households. Data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire (based on themes taken from the qualitative part). Descriptive statistics such as mean and frequency percentage were used to describe the main variables of the research and Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression and confirmatory factor analysis were used to examine the relationships between variables. Data were analyzed using Spss and Amos software.

The results of multivariate regression test showed that 0.410 of citizens' social welfare can be explained based on endowment management, which will result in poverty reduction. Regarding the value of standard beta coefficients of each variable, the coefficient of priority goes back to the needs, which is 0.452. The lowest value is related to the organizational innovation variable which is 0.004. This value is 0.338 for management variability, 0.423 for specialized knowledge, 0.431 for understanding endowments and finally 0.327 for organizational capability.

The results of this study show that Ganjali Khan endowments have an important role in the objective and psychological well-being of Kermani citizens and have an important role in reducing poverty. The well-being of citizens and the consequent reduction of poverty can be very important.
