Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP)
Rasha Demashkieh, CAAP's advisory board chair, recently spoke with Metromode ([link removed]) about CAAP's eighth annual 100 Arab American Women Who Care ([link removed]) fundraiser.
Rasha also spoke about the impact of strategic giving. "It's amazing what a group of people, if they come together because they have a common goal, can do. As a community, that impact will reflect on your community. The goal is to help people, and at the same time, elevate the voice of the community."
