The fund is designed to be a powerful catalyst for responsible growth and community development. It will focus on four key pillars; Conservation, Art & Culture, Health & Wellbeing, and Education & Skills Development, with each driving measurable social and environmental impact through dedicated programmes and initiatives.  Representing a decisive step in addressing Abu Dhabi’s evolving priorities, the fund embodies Miral’s commitment to shaping a sustainable and inclusive future.

Dr Mohammad Abdalla Al Zaabi, Group CEO of Miral, said: “Launching the Miral Impact Fund marks a defining moment in our journey to shape not only destinations, but a lasting positive legacy. Over the years, we have embedded social responsibility within our business, and this fund is the natural next step in turning our CSR strategy to measurable action. Aligning with Abu Dhabi’s Vision 2030, this partnership with the Authority of Social Contribution - Ma’an will create a powerful platform that channels collective contributions towards real social and environmental impact, from conserving our marine life and environment to empowering our communities and inspiring future generations.”

The fund’s inaugural initiative, Guardians of the Arabian Gulf will be led by the Yas SeaWorld Research & Rescue Center Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, aiming to protect marine ecosystems and endangered species while training future conservation leaders.

His Excellency Abdullah Humaid Al Ameri, Director General, Authority of Social Contribution – Ma’an, said: “As the official channel to receive social contributions, the Authority of Social Contribution – Ma’an raises and deploy funds to partners to support projects across various sectors including the environment sector to directly impact the community.

Through this partnership, we continue to direct community contributions toward initiatives that empower communities, preserve our environment, and advance Abu Dhabi’s vision for a sustainable and inclusive future.”
