At the peak of day, light shines at its brightest, and so does our mission.

A foundation established from a will, grown on steadfast roots.

We began with a will to lead through The Science of Benevolence

We shape charitable work through a different approach. We rely on research. We decide with data. We create real impact.

From the Roots of Legacy Toward Horizons of Leadership

We praise God for guiding us to continue the journey established by Prince Mutib bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, may God have mercy on him. We believe that responsible giving is a cornerstone for building a thriving society, and that charitable work is a science built on planning, development, and sustainability. This is what we call The Science of Benevolence.

We aspire to build a pioneering model in grant-making that integrates with Saudi Vision 2030. We lead the sector's transformation through institutional excellence, effective governance, and optimal resource investment, making our giving more sustainable and our impact deeper.

Saud bin Mansour bin Mutib bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Chairman of the Board of Trustees

We launched from a will that saw in giving what deserves mastery. We represent a new generation of charitable work — one that creates good and transcends mere satisfaction. We apply The Science of Benevolence to improve as many lives as possible with the greatest impact. We build on research, decide with data, and evaluate our impact to ensure the mission is fulfilled with utmost precision.
