Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $219,074 spent. 1.Gaza Educational Campaign: Education and raise awareness of the atrocities that were taking place in Gaza at the time. Billboards were rented on the highways for a period of 3 weeks These billboards were seen by an estimate of 1 million people daily. 2.Eid Festival: we organize a festival at one of the outdoor parks to gather the Muslim community to celebrate the day of the feast which follows the month of Ramadan. Around 5,000 community members benefit from this event, especially kids who enjoy the games, bouncy-castles etc. in lems of effort, by far this is the most time consuming, labor consuming, effort consuming project AMA does over the year, even compared to events with higher expenses like the Gaza Educational Campaign. 3. Celebrate Unity: this is a half-day-long conference event where the leaders of the Muslim AZ non-profit organizations gather to celebrate our common faith and acknowledge our differences. Around 200 attendees attended this event. AMA's main annual fundraiser and banquet is held on that day.
