English brief
Summary
RIYADH — A Royal Order has been issued to transform the National Platform for Charitable Work, “Ehsan,” into an independent, non-profit organization under the name Ehsan Foundation for Charitable Work. The foundation aims to strengthen charitable work and connect donors with beneficiaries by providing diverse donation opportunities. It will also enable individuals and companies to make donations and, in coordination with government and private entities, contribute to improving the efficiency of the Kingdom’s non-profit sector. The transformation builds on the support Ehsan has received since its establishment under a Royal Directive in 2021, when the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) was tasked with creating the platform under a strong governance framework to ensure donations reach eligible beneficiaries in social, religious, educational, food, housing and healthca
