What Arab American Fund of Georgia Inc does
Mission
The arab american fund of georgia, inc. (aafg) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt educational organization established in 1986. In 2004, aafg established alif institute, an education, culture, arts, and enrichment center with the mission of fostering the understanding and appreciation of arab cultures. Therefore since 2004, aafg has been doing business as alif institute. Alif institute's board members are unpaid volunteers. The institute is open to the general public and is located at 3288 marjan drive, in dekalb county, georgia.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
As a community outreach service, alif institute engages in various service projects that benefit the arab american community, the general public at large, and the recent arab american immigrants. In 2021, over 10,000 people were served directly through alif institute programs, including students, parents, institutions, general audience guests and refugees. This number does not include the many communities that were served through the alif programs. These programs were possible through the hard work of the institutes' dedicated teachers, staff, and nearly 453 volunteers.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $738k to $841k (+14%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.

Who funds it, year by year

How concentrated its funding is
ARAB AMERICAN FUND OF GEORGIA INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
99% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ARAB AMERICAN FUND OF GEORGIA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2020 53% · 2021 99% · 2022 97% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
92% of ARAB AMERICAN FUND OF GEORGIA INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $7k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Georgia, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $78k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
