When you’re driving down College Avenue in Fayetteville, you might not notice the small office of Canopy Northwest Arkansas tucked between the coffee shops and boutiques. But they’re doing big work to support our community’s newest members. Now, Canopy’s inviting you to host a “Good Trouble” fundraiser to help them continue their vital assistance for refugees resettling in NWA.
Whether you throw a backyard BBQ or host a trivia night at your favorite local bar, Canopy wants to help make your fundraising event a hit. They’re keen to support any creative idea you have in mind. After all, the funds you raise are a lifeline for their wide array of services, from resettlement assistance and housing to employment services and youth programs.
These events are more than just a chance to gather your friends for a good cause. They help Canopy cover the costs of programs like their Entrepreneurship Program and Immigration Legal Services, which provide refugees with the tools to thrive and integrate into our community. It’s a great way to contribute to the “Long Welcome” that Canopy champions.
For those ready to roll up their sleeves, reaching out to Canopy is easy. You can contact Khalid Ahmadzai at kh*************@*******wa.org to start planning your fundraising event. They’ll provide guidance and resources to help ensure your event runs smoothly and successfully supports their mission.

Each dollar raised contributes to the vital work of resettling families and helping them build new lives in Northwest Arkansas. It’s a tangible way to make a difference right where we live.
