What New England Arab American Organization does
Mission
In this way, NEAAO can create a roadmap to educate and prepare a new generation of Arab Americans who enrich the diversity of our community and positively contribute to the growth and prosperity of our great state and country.Unlike other organizations, NEAAO is not only a service provider. As cultural brokers, NEAAO is proactively identifying the root causes of exclusion and social challenges. Knowing that leaders in the organization share the same culture and language as the people we serve allows us to better support our clients in bridging the culture gap and easing inclusion into society.Knowing the struggles of the Arab community, New England Arab American Organizations main goal is to have a hub in multiple cities to serve the Arabic communities there. We are using the Iceberg model to provide not only essential needs but to support clients through struggles with culture, traditions, language, and gender.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2022 to 2023, from $332k to $563k (+70%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 97% · 2021 98% · 2022 89% · 2023 97% · 2024 95% · 2025 95%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of NEW ENGLAND ARAB AMERICAN ORGANIZATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
50% 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 NEW ENGLAND ARAB AMERICAN ORGANIZATION.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $390k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
