HRH Princess Lamia bint Majed AlSaud

Inside Saudi Arabia's Alwaleed Philanthropies

HRH Princess Lamia bint Majed AlSaud's dedication to humanitarian causes and her championing of women's rights and equal opportunities have earned her a reputation as a trailblazer and a changemaker.

As Secretary General and Member of the Board of Trustees at Alwaleed Philanthropies, she helps steer the Saudi foundation's work as it carries out its mission to "build bridges for a more compassionate, tolerant, and accepting world".

Arab Foundations Forum CEO Naila Farouky with host an intimate conversation with HRH Princess Lamia to explore how she and Alwaleed Philanthropies are building those bridges, investing more than US$4.4 billion into social welfare and initiating more than 1,000 projects in over 190 countries on issues ranging from women's and youth empowerment to disaster relief to creating cultural understanding through education.

The discussion will also tackle head-on two topics that many philanthropic organisations grapple with: risk-taking and trust-based grant-making practices. HRH Princess Lamia will share her insights on how embracing risk and trust-based giving can drive more impact and inspire others in the sector to follow suit.     

Join us in what promises to be an enlightening dialogue and a rare opportunity to peek inside the debates and decisions that drive a respected foundation as it makes positive change around the region.
