Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP)
Rasha Demashkieh, CAAP's advisory board chair, recently spoke with Metromode about CAAP's eighth annual 100 Arab American Women Who Care 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."
