4^th World Congress of Muslim Philanthropists

Humanity is threatened frequently and unpredictably by various natural and man-made disasters. Too often, these calamities strike in vulnerable communities that are already ravaged by poverty and inadequate public services. In the face of constant and complex global crises, individual governments are falling behind in the provision of social safety nets for their people, leading to debate about the appropriate roles for business and civil society organizations in meeting emergency needs and addressing the causes of poverty. In a globalized world, issues once considered “local” may now pose harm to communities across borders. This alarming situation requires the promotion of a global culture of common concern and collaborative action.

The 4th World Congress of Muslim Philanthropists will highlight the socio-economic impact of the most pressing global issues, examine challenges unique to Muslim societies, and offer options for managing them. The conference will also continue our ongoing dialogue around the potential roadmap for Muslim Giving in next decade. This discussion will be enriched by the collective wisdom and experience of leading philanthropists and intellectuals from around the world.

The annual Muslim Philanthropy Award banquet will also take place in the evening of March 30^th, with award recipients in three categories, as a leading individual philanthropist, foundation and corporation will be recognized.

The Conference will also showcase innovative philanthropic models to attract social investors.
