Purpose of Study: This paper will discuss the position of community empowerment activities as a form of utilizing Islamic philanthropy to build community economic welfare.
Design/methodology/approach: The research was conducted using a qualitative approach by observing the Mandiri Terdepan program at Baitul Maal Hidayatullah. Data were collected by interview, website documentation study, and literature review so that it could be analyzed by comparing the field situation with the studies found.
Finding: The results of the study explain that the poverty alleviation carried out by BMH in the Mandiri Terdepan program from an economic point of view was carried out by establishing three parts of the program, namely, working capital financing, spiritual development, business skill development, and entrepreneurship training.
Originality/Value: Islamic philanthropy is related to the process of community empowerment
because philanthropy is an act of change, which means changing people who cannot afford to become prosperous so that people need additional capacity to be independent.
