About Us
Innovation and creativity combined with a spirit of giving to help build peaceful prosperity in the UAE.
Sandooq Al Watan is a private sector, not-for-profit, philanthropic organization with a significant endowment approaching AED one billion.
We use this endowment to invest in programs and initiatives aimed at addressing three big challenges currently faced by the people of the United Arab Emirates.
We provide funding and support for initiatives that contribute to the economic and social development of the United Arab Emirates and that increase the participation of Emiratis, particularly young Emiratis in the private, social and creative sectors of the economy.
Impactful Initiatives
Our Purpose
Big Challenges
Sandooq Al Watan has identified three Big Challenges that the United Arab Emirates faces because of its unique population demographics, its cultural dynamics, its geo-political position and its natural environment. The three Big Challenges are:
Big Challenge 1
The need to provide employment opportunities, meaningful work, and well-paid jobs to Emiratis, particularly in the private sector.
Big Challenge 2
The need to create a sustainable local innovation and creativity eco-system led by Emiratis with active participation by Emiratis.
Big Challenge 3
The need to create a sustainable civic engagement ecosystem that enables Emiratis to contribute to social innovation and solidify their national identity.
