Zayed for Good Foundation
The Zayed for Good Foundation is an Emirati nonprofit organisation. Originally established in 1992 as the Zayed Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation, the foundation was created to carry forward the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s global vision of giving, providing charitable, humanitarian and development support to those in need. In 2026, the foundation underwent a strategic transformation, shifting its focus to four key areas: humanitarian assistance and crisis response, building resilient and adaptable agricultural and food systems, resource management and optimisation, and supporting agricultural economy and community prosperity. These strategic pillars aim to advance long-term sustainable development outcomes, improve food security, and promote resilient communities in the UAE and globally.
