We’re gathering for Anera’s Annual Dinner on October 4, 2024. Our theme – Life Through Community – honors life in the places we cherish

Your sponsorship will help us commemorate the important work that the Anera community carries out in Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan.

With your sponsorship, you will gain visibility among like-minded humanitarians and development experts and policymakers while supporting the oldest American organization delivering humanitarian relief and development projects exclusively in the Middle East.

Through humanitarian relief and long-term development initiatives, our staff, partners and supporters are the catalysts for action and hope even when it seems impossible. Anera builds on the strength and creativity of community, from a tented camp in Gaza to fundraisers on college campuses.

This event is raising funds to continue the work that Anera can only do when our whole community gets involved to make it possible.
