Dear Alif Community,
February is the month of LOVE. Giving to Alif is manifesting my love for this institution’s vision and mission.
Who wants One world, connecting humanity through the power of arts and culture? Who wants a greater understanding and appreciation of Arab cultures? If you answered YES then you need to be on the SANAD Team with me.
I unapologetically love this opportunity to ask you to be a recurring donor to my beloved Alif. If you join the Sanad Team as I have, each month a donation in the amount you choose is automatically made from your account. It’s super easy to set it and forget it!
Love,
Helen Ayoub Shuford
Chair, Board of Executive Directors
