Ehsan Platform: Saudi Arabia's Trusted Digital Portal for Giving & Its Latest 2026 Updates

Honestly, the Ehsan platform has been the talk of the town lately, and we're all keeping up with what's happening. What went down this week makes us realise that the Ehsan platform isn't just another app; it's a total game-changer for giving in Saudi Arabia.

Khairat: Award Winners for the Second Time

First piece of news that made my day: the Khairat Association for Food Preservation won the Excellence Award within the Ehsan ecosystem for the second year in a row. And this isn't just any award; it's the Ehsan Award for Leading Associations in its third edition. Hisha Al-Shunaifi, the head of the association, said this is the result of "integrated institutional work," and honestly, she's spot on, because the competition was tough.

Abdullah Al-Subaie, the CEO, explained that the secret behind their win is governance and impact measurement. In short, the Ehsan platform has taught us that charitable work is now about science and management, not just collecting donations.

Cooperative Insurance Joins the World of Giving

The second and most important news is the partnership between Cooperative Insurance and the Ehsan platform. This is a brilliant move by all accounts. Dr. Othman Al-Qasabi, CEO of Cooperative Insurance, said they'll let customers convert their surplus insurance contributions to donate via the platform. I'm a customer of Cooperative Insurance myself, and I tried the service online. Seriously, it takes less than two minutes. Literally, insurance itself has become a charitable product.

Of course, the Ehsan platform donor community has seen a huge turnout recently, especially with the new updates on the app. If you want to know what the new features are, here are the key ones:

• "Your Ehsan Journey" Service: Lets you track your donation from start to finish.
• Ramadan Greeting Cards: You can gift a card and donate on behalf of someone else.
• Ehsan Endowment Fund: It's now easier and faster to use.

Trust me, ever since we saw the Ehsan 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 the first season of this charitable journey is over, and we're at the start of a whole new season. Giving has become easier, faster, and more trustworthy.

Ultimately, the Ehsan platform brings together 12 government entities under one umbrella, and that inspires a lot of confidence. Try the app yourself, and see how donating has become as easy as a click of a button.
