Fundraising from the Gulf is not the same as fundraising anywhere else.
From Shariah-compliant giving and Zakat structures, to cross-border regulations, donor privacy expectations, and relationship-led philanthropy, organisations based in the Gulf face a very distinct fundraising landscape when engaging international donors.
