Volunteerism also plays a significant role, particularly among youth during crises such as floods, earthquakes, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, Pakistan’s global diaspora contributes generously to social projects through remittances and donations.
The PCP, a leading advocate of home-grown philanthropy since 2001, continues to champion transparent giving practices and partnerships across civil society, government, and the private sector.
