Testimonials:

The nonprofit sector is one of the most important parts of the society, and developing the field of financial sustainability in it will enhance the strength and sustainability of the sector. I’m proud to have benefited from one of the paths provided by the Misk program, and I’m grateful for the efforts made by those in charge of this program.

Ahmed Fouad Al-Muslim

Financial sustainability in nonprofit organizations path

I congratulate myself and my family on my graduation from the Misk Charitable Foundation in the Misk Program to Empower Distinguished Saudi Talents in the nonprofit Sector. In fact, the program has added to my many skills and knowledge in managing development projects, which will serve me in my career journey, and I look forward to joining another academic journey. All thanks to the employees of the Misk Charitable Foundation, and thanks to Allah and then to our Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, for his remarkable support in developing national competencies and reaching out in pursuit of achieving our Kingdom’s rational vision.

Yousra Khalaf Al-Mutairi

Development projects management path

After more than fifteen sessions, which varied between governance, commitment, performance and management, in the orbit of a profitable sector, the nonprofit sector skills program presented by the Misk Charitable Foundation was concluded. The discussion in it varied, bringing us to the conclusion that: This sector must receive more attention and attention, perhaps the most important thing that must be paid attention to is the governance of this sector, so that it is sustainable, and what benefits people remains on the ground, and this sector rises in the sky of an ambitious, generous nation. I extend my sincere thanks to the Prince Mohammed bin Salman “Misk” Foundation for this rich and enjoyable journey, which as soon as it came to an end, two conflicting feelings pulled me together, I’m happy with what I have accomplished, praise be to Allah and sad about the end of this enriching resource. I repeat my thanks to those in charge of this program, I hope that Allah will help us serve this sector and prosper it with what we have learned.

I repeat my thanks to everyone who supported and stood behind the success of this program in all its paths, Misk Foundation, and all the participating trainers, supervisors and colleagues, and we will always meet on the paths of goodness, with Allah willing.
