A paired-samples t-test was used to determine a statistically significant mean difference between the importance and popularity of quality certificates ran when 13 grant makers from Sulaiman Bin Abdul Aziz Al-Rajhi Charitable Foundation (Al-Rajhi Foundation) were given 26-Item questionnaire. The questionnaire was segmented by category of importance and popularity and divided further into the four subcategories of quality accreditations or awards consisting of ISO 9001, The King Abdulaziz Quality Award, The Excellence Award for Charitable Organisations, and The King Khalid Award. The results weremixed for ISO 9001 whereby it was more significant in importance (M = 2.62, SD = 1.33) than popularity (M = 1.85, SD = 0.80) however not statistically significant.77, 95% CI [-.34, 1.88], t(12) = 1.51, p < 0.16, d = .42. The Excellence Award for Charitable Organisations difference in means (M) results were -.92, 95% CI [-1.72, .13] compared to the popularity of quality certificates and is statistically significant, t(12) = -2.52, p < .03, d = -.70. Key findings showed the difference in means (M) must account for the organisational type and its structure by which it operates alongside outside stakeholders.
