CAAP and NNAAC Grant Program – United States

CAAP and NNAAC Grant Program – United States

Deadline: 08-Mar-2024

The Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP) and the National Network for Arab American Communities (NNAAC) are currently jointly accepting grant applications from Arab American nonprofits for general operating support.

Funding Priorities

• To streamline their processes and ease the burden on applicants, CAAP and NNAAC have opted this year to combine their grantmaking and offer general operating support grants.
• CAAP and NNAAC will award grants up to a maximum of $10,000 each for Arab American organizations that fall within the following two focus areas: Arts, Culture & Media or Human Services, Education & Advocacy.
• They will announce the awards in May 2024, with the grant period starting July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025.
• Organizations awarded grants may be eligible for future funding opportunities through CAAP and/or NNAAC, as available.

Eligibility Criteria

• To be eligible for funding, your organization must:
  • Be a U.S. based Arab American nonprofit serving the Arab American community. CAAP and NNAAC define an Arab American nonprofit as an organization that self-identifies as Arab American, and has a majority Arab American representation among the leadership of the organization and the populations served.
  • Currently have valid 501(c)(3) status with the IRS.
• Note:
  • Prior grantees who have failed to submit required reports for previous grants will not be eligible to apply.
  • NNAAC’s available funding will only support NNAAC member organizations. CAAP’s available funding will support either NNAAC member organizations or other Arab American organizations that meet the requirements listed above.
