Indonesia as a country with a majority Muslim population has philanthropic developments that are quite encouraging both nationally and globally. This cannot be separated from the influence of the dimension of religiosity in Islam which is constructed in the culture of society. One of the customs that has been passed down for generations and continues to be preserved by the people in Wonorejo Village, Poncokusumo District, is the existence of various congregational traditions that become a forum for Islamic philanthropic practices typical of the Wonorejo Village community. This paper aims to analyze: 1) the construction of Islamic philanthropy in the Wonorejo Village community; 2) the process of acculturation of Islamic educational values into the local culture of the Wonorejo village community, and 3) the influence of local culture-based Islamic philanthropy on the socio-economic conditions of the Wonorejo Village community. The theoretical approach used is the social construction theory of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann and the Koentjoroningrat acculturation theory.
