 Welcome to the Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP)!
Launched in 2006, CAAP promotes, facilitates and celebrates Arab American giving through education, training, and donor outreach and services. CAAP is the only program in the country harnessing the collective power of Arab American giving and knowledge to strengthen the voice of the community in American civil society.

We believe that every Arab American who gives is a philanthropist. At CAAP, we will work with you to ensure that your giving, regardless of the amount, makes the greatest impact possible in the community. At www.centeraap.org you will find a variety of resources and information to help you become a strategic giver. If you need more information, contact us directly, and we will work with you to realize your philanthropic goals.

Through CAAP, you also have the opportunity to join your charitable giving with other Arab Americans across the country as part of a national fund. This fund will increase the visibility of Arab American giving and make grants on your behalf to Arab American and mainstream organizations.
