Ihsan Platform: Saudi Arabia's Trusted Digital Gateway for Giving and Its Latest 2026 Updates
Honestly, the Ihsan platform has been the talk of the town lately, and everyone's keeping up with what's happening. What went down this week makes it clear that the Ihsan platform is more than just another app; it's a game-changer for giving in Saudi Arabia.
Khairat: Award-Winning for the Second Time
First bit of news that made my day: The Khairat Society for Food Conservation won the Excellence Award within the Ihsan Ecosystem for the second year in a row. And this wasn't just any award; it was the Ihsan Award for Leading Charities in its third edition. Hessa Al-Shunaifi, the head of the society, said it's the result of "integrated institutional work," and she's absolutely right, because the competition was fierce.
Abdullah Al-Subaie, the CEO, made it clear that the secret behind their win is governance and impact measurement. In short, the Ihsan platform has taught us that charitable work has become a science of management, not just about collecting donations.
Alinma Tokio Marine Steps into the World of Giving
The second and biggest news is the partnership between Alinma Tokio Marine and the Ihsan platform. This is a brilliant move by any standard. Dr. Othman Al-Qasbi, CEO of Alinma Tokio Marine, said they'll enable customers to convert their insurance surplus to donations via the platform. I'm a customer myself, and I tried the service online; honestly, it takes less than two minutes. Literally, insurance itself has become a charitable product.
Naturally, the Ihsan platform donor community is seeing a huge turnout these days, especially with the new updates on the app. If you want to know what the new features are, here are the highlights:
- "Your Ihsan Journey" Service: Allows you to track your donation from start to finish.
- Ramadan Greeting Cards: You can gift a card and donate on behalf of someone else.
- Ihsan Endowment Fund: Its use has become easier and faster.
Trust me, ever since we saw the Ihsan platform launch ceremony a few years back, I felt this platform would change the concept of giving. And today, after these developments, I feel like Season One of this charitable journey is over, and we're at the beginning of a whole new season. Giving has become easier, faster, and more trustworthy.
Ultimately, the Ihsan platform brings together 12 government entities under one umbrella, which inspires a high level of trust. Try the app yourself and see how donating has become as easy as the push of a button.
