The second national campaign for charitable work will continue to receive donations from individuals, companies, banks, donors and facilitators, through the platform’s application and website https://ehsan.sa/, in addition to the benefactors’ call center via the number 8001247000. The national campaign for charitable work, in its second year, was launched with two generous donations by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince with an amount of SR50 million apiece.

It will go on allowing the donations of major donors from the private and non-profit sectors, in addition to the participation of all segments of donors from different regions of the Kingdom, motivated and inspired by their wise leadership, the values of generosity, and giving and charity in this holy season.

The national campaign for charitable action was launched in its second edition, via live coverage from the campaign headquarters, in the presence of Dr. Abdullah Bin Sharaf Al-Ghamdi, chairman of the Supervisory Committee of Ehsan platform, president of SDAIA and the chairman of the Shariah Committee of the Ehsan Platform, advisor at the Royal Court, member of the Council of Senior Scholars Sheikh Abdullah Bin Mohammed Al-Mutlaq.

The campaign's goals are to maximize the impact of the charitable sector.
