We began with a will, and lead through the science of giving

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

From the roots of legacy toward horizons of leadership

We thank God for enabling us to continue the journey established by Prince Mutib bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, may God have mercy on him. We believe responsible giving is a foundation for a prosperous society, and that charitable work is a discipline built on planning, development, and sustainability. This is what we call the science of giving.

We aspire to build a pioneering model for grantmaking that aligns with Saudi Vision 2030. Through institutional excellence, effective governance, and the optimal use of resources, we seek to make our giving more sustainable and our impact deeper.

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

We began with a will that saw giving as something worthy of mastery. We represent a new generation of charitable work—one that creates good and goes beyond the satisfaction of giving. We apply the science of giving to improve as many lives as possible with the greatest achievable impact. We build on research, decide with data, and measure our impact so the mission is fulfilled with precision.
