Al-Rajhi Bank donates seven million Saudi Riyals to the national campaign to support charitable work through “Ihsan” platform

Al Rajhi Bank donated seven million riyals to the national campaign to support charitable work that took place last Friday through the Ihsan platform, which was launched by the Two Holy Mosques and His Highness the Crown Prince, may God protect them.

The campaign and platform’s support takes place within Corporate Social Responsibility Programs provided by the Bank. Al Rajhi Bank gives great attention to these programs as its social role has been highlighted through its support and activation of many national initiatives and sustainable projects. In addition to that, the bank has been initiating and facilitating volunteer work for employees which has helped achieve record numbers in support of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals.

It was an honor for the bank to have provided this support after announcing the launch of the campaign and after the generous funding of 20 million riyals provided by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz, may God protect him. Moreover, His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince, may God preserve him, had also shown great support with an amount of 10 million riyals. Both of their contributions help encourage and inspire organizations and individuals to offer all they can to serve the community.

The national campaign for charitable work "Ihsan", which was launched by the Saudi Authority for Data and Artificial Intelligence (SADAA) last month, is considered a national donation platform that provides many services and programs and brings together other national platforms involved in donations Kingdom wide. This brings us to Ihsan’s integral role, being a platform that supports charitable and non-profit organizations and helps them achieve their goals.

The platform contributes to preserving the efforts of the donors and philanthropists, as well as working on avoiding the difficulties that donors face while conducting bank transfers to non-profit entities. Simultaneously, “Ihsan” will organize payment gateways for electronic donations, and will facilitate monitoring and follow-up of all donation processes, and improve control over them to ensure that it is given to those in need of it. In addition to all that, it will show the donor special treatment along with ongoing communication to provide him/her with the latest developments of the donation system and regulations in the Kingdom. Moreover, it will introduce the donor to different channels that he/she can use to support his favorite organization or institution.

This donation is simply a continuation to the bank’s qualitative and sustainable initiatives to serve the community, given that the year 2021 began with two projects targeting social responsibility. The bank signed two agreements, one with the Disabled Children Association, which the bank took full responsibility to develop and rebuild the integrated clinic along with covering its operating costs for a whole year with a total value of 1,496,000 riyals. The second agreement is with King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center, whereby the bank pledged to purchase and equip two blood donation vehicles worth 6 million Saudi riyals
