What Arab Americans for Progress does
Mission
Arab Americans for Progress is a Michigan-based 501c4 organization working to build a just, equitable and democratic society where the highest purpose of government is to serve the needs of all its people.

Program
We proudly graduated the first cohort of our leadership development program and have already deployed these graduates to work within the community on vital education and mobilization projects. In collaboration with the National Network for Arab American community, NNAAC, we conducted an unprecedented survey over the past year, examining our community's perspectives on key issues such as healthcare, education, international relations, civil rights, employment, the economy, immigration, housing, community development, and the environment. Set to be published at the end of April 2025, this survey aims to inform a strong and representative community policy agenda. Finalized communication strategy planning which included: Key Messages & Goals/Objectives Target Audiences Channels of Communication & Content Topics Key Programs & Activities Branding & Logos. Finalized advocacy and community organizing plan.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $97k to $903k (+833%).
How it's funded, over time

1 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 20% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ARAB AMERICANS FOR PROGRESS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
ARAB AMERICANS FOR PROGRESS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
100% 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 AMERICANS FOR PROGRESS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $300k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
