Ehsan Platform

The Ehsan Platform is a governmental electronic platform established to support the non-profit and developmental sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This is done by collecting monetary donations from individuals, governmental entities, and private sectors, then directing them to beneficiaries through trusted donation channels, without stipulating a minimum or maximum amount for the donation.

The Ehsan Platform adopts the Quranic verse: And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good - Surah al-Baqarah 195, as its motto on its website. The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) operates and develops the platform.

The Ehsan Platform was established during the reign of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, specifically in 2020. Several governmental entities jointly supervise it, including the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Municipalities and Housing, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, Ministry of Education, Presidency of State Security, and the Saudi Central Bank, in addition to the Digital Government Authority. The platform has a board of directors chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the crown prince and prime minister.

The platform was established for many purposes, including enlarging and strengthening the influence of the developmental and non-profit sectors in the Kingdom, solidifying the principles of humanitarian and charitable work and the values of belonging to the homeland, and integrating work between entities on the platform and their organizers, such as charitable entities and public and private sector entities. In addition to that, it opens the space for the charitable work of the private sector in the Kingdom, strengthens its efforts, enables donations, and supports charitable work.

Through the Ehsan Platform, one can donate for various purposes, including donating to diverse social projects, such as providing food baskets for needy families, building homes, and more; donating to the Furijat service, which is dedicated to settling the debts of prisoners of financial obligations; donating to individual cases like sponsoring orphans and divorcees; providing treatment for the most needy cases; as well as contributing to various relief projects worldwide. Donors can track the impact of their donations through reports sent via the platform.

The Ehsan Platform also offers the opportunity to publicize donation opportunities through the Ghiras service, which allows users to share cases listed on the platform on social media, aiming to attract more donations to them.

The Ehsan Platform features a zakat calculator for all its categories, such as zakat on money, gold, silver, stocks, and investment funds. The platform accepts zakat as the third pillar of Islam. The platform also has a religious committee composed of members from the Senior Scholars Authority and the Permanent Committee for Issuing Fatwas. This is to ensure compliance with the application of all Islamic Sharia rulings in all transactions on the platform, including charitable, developmental activities, zakat, and alms.

Donors can offer their donations in many fields, including education, health, relief, the environment, the economy, and technology, among others. The platform also allows sending donations as gifts by selecting a chance to donate and then sending it as a gift.
