Imtiaz Developments receives prestigious ‘Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Medal for Philanthropy'
In a landmark event, Imtiaz Developments has been awarded the prestigious 'Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Medal for Philanthropy' by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The honour was conferred upon the real estate company's CEO, Masih Imtiaz, at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) Year in Review event held on March 18, 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
The award recognises Imtiaz Developments outstanding contributions to the UAE's real estate sector and its unwavering commitment to philanthropy and sustainable development. The company's recent Dh50 million donation to the MBRGI's Father's Endowment campaign will support the construction of an endowment building within the education complex operated by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) in Dubai Academic City.
Revenues from this endowment building will play a crucial role in supporting healthcare initiatives in underserved communities. These funds will contribute to the development of hospitals, provision of essential medical equipment and medications, expansion of healthcare facilities, and upgrading of operating rooms - creating sustainable opportunities to enhance the quality of life for those in need.
Commenting on this distinguished accolade, Masih Imtiaz, CEO of Imtiaz Developments, stated: "Receiving this esteemed recognition from His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is a defining moment in my journey. This honour is not just a personal milestone but a reflection of our collective responsibility to contribute to the UAE's vision and global humanitarian efforts. Giving back is an integral part of our values at Imtiaz Developments, and we remain dedicated to initiatives that uplift communities and create a lasting positive impact."
"Dubai has been the foundation of my aspirations and success. Under the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed, the emirate has evolved into the world's most dynamic and forward-thinking city - an unparalleled hub of innovation, excellence, and opportunity. It is a profound honour to contribute to this journey, building world-class developments while upholding the values of generosity, sustainability, and community empowerment. This recognition strengthens my commitment to continue supporting initiatives that enrich lives and drive positive change."
