Yayasan Hasanah (“Hasanah”) is an independent grant-making organisation that strives to create positive change for the social impact and environment sectors in Malaysia. Through grants awarded to our various partners nationwide, Hasanah catalyses transformation in five key areas namely Education, Community Development, Environment, Arts & Public Spaces, and Knowledge.
Since the establishment of Hasanah in 2015, through our partners, Hasanah has impacted more than 2.9 million individuals from all walks of life. Some of Hasanah’s various efforts include boosting economic opportunities for the B40 group, Orang Asli community, people with disabilities, and arts and culture performers, as well as honing the skills and leadership of educators, in addition to strengthening access to mental health facilities for students in schools.
Beyond ringgit and cents, Hasanah collaborates with various stakeholders, develops the capacity of partners and communities, and instils the spirit of advocacy.
Hasanah is the impact-based foundation of Khazanah Nasional Berhad (“Khazanah”), the sovereign wealth fund of Malaysia. Hasanah was set up as an independent entity on 1 July 2015, building on nine years of Corporate Responsibility (CR) efforts previously driven by Khazanah.
As we embark on the tenth edition of our annual report, I am filled with profound gratitude and optimism. This milestone signifies a decade of impact with Yayasan Hasanah, and I take pride in witnessing its transformation from a donation-driven CSR unit of Khazanah Nasional Berhad into a recognised philanthropic institution.
Looking back at 2023, we witness the fruits of our labour in organisational growth, programmatic impact, and realising individual aspirations.
In The Hasanah Report 2023, we unveil the breadth of our dedication to fostering transformative change across Malaysia. Through our diverse initiatives, we strive to empower communities, nurture the potential of our youth, and pave the way for a more sustainable future.
