Ihsan platform becomes independent non-profit by royal decree

King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has issued two royal decrees that transform the National Platform for Charitable Work, known as Ihsan, into an independent non-profit organization named the Ihsan Foundation for Charitable Work. Dr. Majid Al-Qasabi has been appointed chair of the foundation's board of trustees, with Ahmed bin Suleiman Al-Rajhi serving as his deputy.

The board of trustees, which includes notable figures such as Dr. Abdullah bin Sharaf Al-Ghamdi and Princess Nouf bint Mohammed Al-Abdulrahman, will oversee the foundation for three-year terms, with the possibility of renewal. This transition grants the foundation greater autonomy and flexibility, allowing it to better serve its mission of connecting donors with beneficiaries through diverse donation opportunities and enhancing the efficiency of the non-profit sector in Saudi Arabia.

Since its establishment in 2021, the Ihsan platform has processed over 440 million donations totaling 17 billion riyals, digitizing the charitable sector and ensuring aid reaches those in need across various fields. The transformation aligns with Saudi Vision 2030, aiming to maximize the social and economic impact of the Ihsan Foundation and empower it to continue its pioneering role in digital charity work.
