Mr. Jassim further added that ‘CP Mark’ is the first brand in the world to be awarded in favor of supporting charitable and development activities adding that the initiative will considerably contribute towards developing community partnerships in the region.
The Qatar Charity stated that every organization which submits the request to place the ‘CP Mark’ branding will be thoroughly reviewed before placing the trademark on the commercial products of the partner.
Sharing his remarks on the additional benefits attached to the ‘CP Mark’ endorsement, Qatar Charity’s Head of Resource Development Department Mr. Ahmed al-Shirawi observed that apart from the sponsorship through the ‘CP Mark’, organizations who qualify for the branding will be provided with several benefits such as;
Free training courses through the expertise in Qatar Charity or co-operating partners.
