Since its early beginnings, the International Islamic Charitable Organization and its founders have placed great importance on research and studies within the scope of their work, believing they represent a rich and essential resource for decision-makers. This importance was reflected in the establishment of the Global Center for Charitable Work Studies, and the provision of the necessary material and human resources to enable it to fulfill its mission of serving and developing charitable and humanitarian work and achieving its goals.
The knowledge structure in any field represents the first step toward a conscious and rational approach. This is achieved by providing objective studies and solid research, and presenting them to decision-makers, enabling them to accurately interpret reality and accurately anticipate the future. For this reason, the Global Center for the Study of Philanthropy was established, launching it with a new, advanced vision that achieves its objectives in this field.
Under the slogan: "A Scientific Vision for a Charitable Mission," the Global Center for Charitable Work Studies was launched to fulfill its mission of serving charitable and humanitarian work and developing it through specialized research and studies. The center aims to raise the level of performance and quality in this vital field and support decision-making within it.By providing relevant information in a timely manner, anticipating its future in a way that serves the beneficiary communities, and spreading the culture of charitable and voluntary work among segments of society.
The center was launched with an ambitious vision to be a "global reference in studies of charitable work," and to achieve its mission of: "serving and developing charitable and humanitarian work through specialized research and studies." To date, it has completed dozens of research papers, opinion polls, and situation assessment papers.Two monthly series: the "Impact" newsletter and "Knowledge Summaries," in addition to hundreds of evidence-based decision support papers. He also carried out several research and training activities in the charitable sector.
Transformation and change in societies are based on anticipating the future and developing the ideas that will lead us to it. This is precisely what the Global Center for Philanthropy Studies is doing, and we urge it to pursue further in-depth studies and innovative ideas to build a brighter future for our philanthropic sector.
