The Ihsan platform honors benefactors under the patronage of the Crown Prince to promote charitable work
Honoring generosity on a blessed Ramadan night
Under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, may God protect him, the National Platform for Charitable Work “Ihsan” will hold its fourth annual ceremony to honor philanthropists. This prominent event is scheduled to take place next Friday, corresponding to the 17th of Ramadan, as a gesture of appreciation and gratitude to those who have generously supported humanitarian initiatives and projects throughout the Kingdom.
Historical background: “Ihsan” and its role in Vision 2030
The “Ihsan” platform was established by royal decree and is overseen by the Saudi Data & Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), with the aim of creating a qualitative shift in the Kingdom’s charitable sector. Its launch in March 2021 was a key enabler of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to increase the contribution of the non-profit sector to the GDP. The platform governs and digitizes donation processes, providing a unified and secure channel that ensures donations reach their beneficiaries as quickly as possible and with the highest levels of transparency and reliability, thus strengthening donor trust and encouraging wider giving within the community.
The importance of the event and its expected impact
The ceremony honoring philanthropists is not merely a celebratory occasion; it carries significant strategic and developmental dimensions. Locally, the Crown Prince's patronage of this event underscores the unwavering support of the wise leadership for empowering charitable work and activating its role as a key partner in sustainable development. The event also contributes to solidifying a culture of giving and benevolence within society, inspiring individuals and institutions to actively participate in charitable initiatives covering vital areas such as health, education, housing, orphan care, and alleviating hardship.
At the regional and international levels, the success of the “Ihsan” model positions the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a leader in digital innovation for humanitarian work. This model, which combines advanced technology with the intrinsic values of giving, has become a model for maximizing the impact of donations and ensuring their sustainability. The annual ceremony highlights these efforts and reflects the Kingdom’s progressive image as a leading nation in charitable work globally, with total donations through the platform exceeding billions of riyals, benefiting millions within the Kingdom.
Quality initiatives and sustainable impact
The ceremony will showcase the platform's most prominent initiatives, most notably the "Ihsan Endowment Fund," which aims to create sustainable solutions for charitable work by investing donations and directing their returns to support ongoing development projects. This recognition celebrates the success stories created by philanthropists through their donations and affirms that every contribution, no matter how small, leaves a positive and tangible impact on the lives of beneficiaries, embodying the finest examples of solidarity and mutual support within Saudi society.
