Philanthropy is a voluntary and charitable activity carried out for the benefit of the general public. Islam's emphasis on philanthropic practices can be seen through the institutionalization of zakat, charity, and waqf. The cultivation of philanthropy among Muslims can be used as a foundation to meet human needs, reduce suffering, and solve societal problems. The awareness of philanthropic practices has not yet fully become a culture in society, particularly in the government sector and statutory bodies. To what extent has the culture of philanthropy been practiced? This paper aims to examine the extent of philanthropic culture, the driving factors, obstacles, and philanthropic activities that have been carried out. This study uses a qualitative method, where data is collected through semi-structured interviews focusing on the case of Baitulmal Sarawak. The findings indicate that Baitulmal Sarawak has cultivated philanthropy through various techniques. This study also provides an overview of the development of philanthropy at Baitulmal Sarawak. Future suggestions can focus on the public's response to the cultivation of philanthropy, which can benefit society as a whole.
