Developing the Amil Zakat Al Washliyah Foundation from a Penta Helix Perspective to Boost Fundraising

Abstract

As the largest community organization with qualified members and stakeholders in
North Sumatra, Al Washliyah can establish the Al Washliyah Charity Amil Zakat Institution
(LAZ WASHAL) in North Sumatra, Indonesia. This study highlights the possibility of creating
LAZ WASHAL to increase zakat fundraising in North Sumatra. Data were collected from two
individuals in each competence sector using a questionnaire based on the penta helix model:
representatives from the disciplines of Academics, Business, Government, Media, and
Community. Data analysis methods included in-depth interviews. According to the study's
findings, LAZ WASHAL possesses tremendous potential, but its management is not yet
perfect. The standard perspective of stakeholders in the implementation of LAZ WASHAL's
development, due to a shared vision, common perception, shared commitment, and cooperation
among stakeholders, is among the institutional or organizational factors influencing LAZ
WASHAL's fundraising. This shared view provides stakeholder synergy based on an
optimizable penta-helix strategy
