Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP) Grant in Arts, Culture, & Media/Human Services, Education, & Advocacy

The Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP) is a national community foundation. An institution of ACCESS, CAAP’s objective is to unite and empower the Arab American community by demonstrating the impact of giving together.  CAAP and NNAAC will award grants up to a maximum of $10,000 each for Arab American organizations whose focus areas include arts, culture and media or human services, education, and advocacy. CAAP is not only engaged in strengthening individual philanthropy in the Arab American community, but is also committed to strengthening Arab American community organizations around the United States.

Strong organizations are essential for the development and empowerment of the Arab American community. To streamline our processes and ease the burden on applicants, CAAP and NNAAC have opted this year to combine our grantmaking and offer general operating support grants.
