CENTER FOR ARAB AMERICAN PHILANTHROPY (CAAP) 

The Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP), a national institution of ACCESS, is a 15-year old national community foundation with the objective to unite and empower the Arab American community by demonstrating the impact of giving together.

CAAP improves communities by having granted over $19-million to various causes, serves donors by providing smart charitable giving tools, builds leaders though youth programming and shapes perceptions about Arab Americans by highlighting their exceptional contributions to society.

Proceeds from this year’s Threads of Giving Gala will support CAAP’s mission to improve communities through grant-making by supporting Arab American human services and arts & culture organizations across the country.
