Cash Waqf is a trust fund established with money to support services to humankind on behalf of Allah SWT. Efforts to maximize the use of cash waqf funds have the potential to improve the welfare of the community, especially in alleviating the poor. One of the institutions in this field is the Islamic microfinance institution. These Islamic microfinance institutions include Baitul Maal (social funds) and Baitu Tamwil (commercial) and cooperatives. This Islamic microfinance institution is a facility for the poor to develop their business. The research method used in this research is a literature survey of more than 20 articles. Not only analyzing empirically and comparatively but also provide recommendations and suggestions with several theoretical works. The results of this study indicate that cash waqf has been widely practiced and could become a financing facility for MSMEs to alleviate poverty.
