The UAE has announced an ambitious national vision to increase community contributions to more than Dh20 billion by 2031, reinforcing the country’s commitment to sustainable development through stronger partnerships between the public and private sectors.
The announcement follows the successful mobilisation of Dh3.23 billion in community contributions during 2025, achieved through the participation of 191 companies. The milestone highlights the growing role of corporate partnerships in supporting national development priorities and creating long-term social impact.
Announcing the initiative, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court, said the new vision builds on the UAE’s achievements in community giving and reflects a national partnership that positions philanthropy as a key driver of sustainable development.
“The UAE is launching a new global vision for community contributions, targeting more than Dh20 billion by 2031, after achieving Dh3.23 billion in 2025 through the participation of 191 companies. This reflects the strength of a national partnership that makes giving a driver of sustainable development and a global model for creating positive impact,” Sheikh Mansour said.
Gold 101.3 FM – UAE’s No. 1 radio station – continues to keep listeners informed about the latest government initiatives, economic developments and community-focused programmes shaping the UAE’s future.
The new vision aims to encourage greater participation from businesses in community development while strengthening the UAE’s position as a global leader in sustainable philanthropy, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and public-private partnerships.
Officials said the initiative is designed to maximise social impact, promote responsible corporate engagement and support the country’s long-term economic and social development goals, further reinforcing the UAE’s reputation as a global hub for innovation, sustainability and community-driven growth.
