The W.K. Kellogg Foundation recently awarded a $380,000 grant to the Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP), a project of ACCESS. The grant will allow CAAP to expand its services and reach out to more members of the community to continue its mission of empowering Arab Americans, including youth, through philanthropy.
Funding from the grant will be used to launch additional Giving Circles, a new Women and Children’s Fund at CAAP that supports organizations serving low-income children, women and their families, and expansion of CAAP’s award-winning Teen Grantmaking Initiative (TGI) program nationwide.
“The Kellogg Foundation has been CAAP’s partner since our inception. We are so proud to have their ongoing support,” said Katherine Hanway, CAAP donor services and program officer. “This grant marks a pivotal point in CAAP’s development, as it will considerably expand our programs and services across the country. The grant allows us to positively impact our community, especially our young people.”
The Center for Arab American Philanthropy’s vision is to build a legacy of giving in the Arab American community, shaping the future of our society through the collective power of philanthropy and empowering others to be community builders. CAAP works with donors to invest their charitable dollars in organizations and programs across the United States. Learn more here.
