⏰ Time is running out! ⏰ Don't forget to fill in our Arab Philanthropy Survey before it closes. Help us answer vital questions for and about the sector... 👥 Who and what are organizations funding? 💰 How much are they spending? ❤️ What impact is their investment making? 🤝 Where do gaps remain? Arab philanthropic organizations are doing amazing work in the region, but there is little data to show it. With the information you provide about your organization and its work, we can build a comprehensive picture of what the sector is doing and, crucially, where financing and programming is still needed. Together we can do even better: https://bit.ly/3QqDL6t
