## Transcript

Thank you. Time for bringing together some of the most inspiring minds and generous hearts. The world feels heavy these days. Conversations, headlines and hearts. Gatherings like this remind me of what's possible when we stay awake to what's happening around us. Real philanthropy isn't charity. It's about letting what we see change us, and allowing that change to shape how we live with compassion and courage. Across Africa and Asia, philanthropy is quietly being reimagined, shifting from transactional giving to transformational impact. Countries traditionally seen as recipients now lead as pioneers.

Well over $200 billion in private capital is donated across the Gulf each year. That is the Arabian Gulf, not the Gulf of Mexico or even of America, you know. And this is primarily done through a sense of attachment to faith and sense of duty. And as a proud Emirati, I've learned that philanthropy can bridge not only wealth and need, but also cultures, continents and generations. My country has shown me the quiet power of collaboration and that nothing is impossible when we work together, and more people everywhere are asking difficult questions. Not just how can I give, but what does it mean to give?

Well. And that kind of reflection matters because it's not just about generosity, it's also about accountability. And that's why philanthropy journalism matters. Sharing what's good and where we fall short. And that invites growth and quiets the whispers of self-doubt as to whether our giving truly makes a difference or not. So I want to just end by honoring the ones who help us see the journalists, the storytellers, the witnesses, those who make sure that these moments don't fade away and they remind us to that to notice is to care, and that letting ourselves feel makes room for love, and that truth shared with sincerity leads to true change.

So thank you.
