Ehsan Platform: Saudi Arabia’s Trusted Digital Gateway for Giving and Its Latest 2026 Updates
Honestly, the Ehsan platform has become the talk of the town lately, and we're all keeping up with what's happening with it. What went down this week makes it clear that the Ehsan platform is more than just another app; it's a real game-changer for giving in Saudi Arabia.
Khairat: Back-to-Back Award Winner
The first piece of news that made my day: The Khairat Association for Preserving Food won the Excellence Award within the Ehsan Ecosystem for the second year in a row. And this wasn't just any award; it was the Ehsan Award for Leading Charities in its third edition. Hessa Al-Shanifi, the head of the association, said it's the result of "integrated institutional work," and honestly, she's spot on. The competition was fierce.
Abdullah Al-Subaie, the CEO, explained that the secret to their win was strong governance and impact measurement. In short, the Ehsan platform has taught us that charity work is now about science and management, not just collecting donations.
Cooperativa (Al Rajhi Takaful) Enters the World of Giving
The second and biggest news is the partnership between Cooperativa and the Ehsan platform. This is a brilliant move by any standard. Dr. Othman Al-Qasabi, CEO of Cooperativa, said they're enabling customers to convert their insurance surplus into donations through the platform. I'm a Cooperativa customer myself, and I tried the service online. Honestly, it took less than two minutes. Literally, insurance itself has become a charitable product.
Of course, the Ehsan platform donor community has been seeing a huge turnout recently, especially with the new updates on the app. If you want to know what's new, here are the highlights:
- "Your Giving Journey" Service: Lets you track your donation from start to finish.
- Ramadan Greeting Cards: You can gift a card and donate in someone else's name.
- Ehsan Endowment Fund: It's now easier and faster to use.
Believe me, ever since we saw the Ehsan platform launch ceremony a few years back, I've said this platform would change the concept of giving. And today, after these latest updates, I feel like the first season of this charitable journey is over, and we're at the beginning of a whole new one. Giving has become easier, faster, and more trustworthy.
Ultimately, the Ehsan platform brings together 12 government entities under one umbrella, which makes the trust in it incredibly high. Try the app for yourself and see how donating has become as easy as a push of a button.
