Riyadh: Deputy Minister of Society Development at the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development Ahmed Almajed underscored the Kingdom's commitment to investing in the non-profit sector, driven by Vision 2030, to achieve social benefit and justice through national initiatives and strategic plans aligned with global best practices and local needs.

According to Saudi Press Agency, speaking at the International Exhibition for Nonprofit Sector (IENA Exhibition) in Riyadh, Almajed outlined Vision 2030's ambitious objectives, including raising the non-profit sector's GDP contribution to 5% and reaching one million volunteers by 2030.

He highlighted the launch of the National Donations platform, which has facilitated over SAR1.4 billion in donations. This platform ensures a secure and transparent channel for donations under the ministry's oversight.

Additionally, Almajed noted the National Platform for Volunteer Work, an online hub connecting volunteers with opportunities in the non-profit sector, had surpassed 1.2 million volunteers by the end of 2024, achieving the Vision 2030 target six years early.

Emphasizing the vital role of corporate social responsibility as a cornerstone for companies in social development, Almajed stressed the significance of leveraging private sector resources and expertise to bolster the non-profit sector.
