November, 2008 - The Center for Arab American Philanthropy congratulates Majdi Wadi, a member of the Leadership Circle, on his award from the National Immigration Forum
On November 18, 2008, the National Immigration Forum awarded the Carvel Immigrant Entrepreneur Award to Majdi Wadi, of Holy Land Brand, for embodying the spirit of immigrant entrepreneurship. The success of Majdi Wadi is a classic story of immigrants and the American dream. A Palestinian immigrant from Jordan, Majdi Wadi came to the U.S. to help in his brother's grocery store, deli and bakery. Since he took over the business from his brother in 1998, Majdi Wadi turned the business into a multi-million-dollar enterprise with 95 employees and products sold in stores from Minneapolis to Singapore. With his success, Wadi has paid back the community that made it possible for his dream to come true. He has won accolades from a variety of groups for his generosity - from the Al-Amal school (a private Muslim school) to the American Red Cross to the Minneapolis Police Department. He has also been active in organizing local Arab American businesses in Minneapolis.
October, 2008 - ACCESS Receives the National Leadership in Action Award from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation ACCESS has been awarded the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s National Leadership in Action award for our work advancing philanthropy in the community through the Center for Arab American Philanthropy. This year, ACCESS is one of five organizations across the country to receive this prestigious award. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s National Leadership in Action Award was established in 2004 to recognize, celebrate and promote outstanding philanthropic and nonprofit leadership in communities of color. The award is designed to honor innovative approaches to connecting resources of time, money and know-how toward mutually responsible and just social change. The Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP), a program of ACCESS, 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.
CAAP is a national program that harnesses the collective power of Arab American giving to strengthen the voice of our community. During this time of crisis in Haiti, Arab Americans can choose to give together through CAAP. By pooling your funds with other generous Arab American donors you strengthen your contribution, making a larger and more effective impact. You are recognized as an Arab American donor, while collectively supporting the people of Haiti.
If you are interested in donating, we would like to suggest the following option:
Use CAAP’s free donor advised services by contributing on-line to CAAP and designating the recipient humanitarian relief organization. CAAP will forward the full amount in your name to the organization of your choice. Or, if you don’t wish to designate the recipient organization, allow CAAP to make the selection in your name.
