The Arab West Foundation (Stichting Arab West Foundation) is a non-profit NGO registered in the Netherlands. The Foundation has ANBI status in the Netherlands which means that donations are tax deductible for Dutch donors.
Our work relies almost entirely on the support of donors (both individuals and institutions) and grants for particular projects. Donor organizations expect subscribers of Arab-West Report to contribute and thus a small part of our funding comes through subscription fees for
Arab-West Report.
Our work has attracted the interest of prominent organisations in Europe who have generously supported our work, including Missio, Misereor, Kerkinactie and the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation and we continue to seek financial support from foundations, academic and research institutions, other grant making organisations as well as individual donors.
