The third annual Afghan-American Conference (AAC) takes place at George Washington University on April 28-30, 2017. AAC aims to address community issues, promote civic engagement, and foster professional networking among young Afghan-American adults. The conference is equal parts professional, cultural, and personal. Many participants lauded the conference as “life-changing,” the “best weekend” of their lives, and the “most impactful event” they had ever attended. Since its inaugural year, over 600 individuals have taken part in the Conference creating a unique and dynamic community of young Afghan-Americans.  

How YOU Can Help

Our team has worked diligently to cut costs and secure funding for the event. AAC is charging attendees a registration fee, requesting monetary and in-kind donations from sponsors, and now asking for your support!

Here's what you can do:

• Donate to this LaunchGood project

• Support the fee waiver fund: sponsor a ticket for someone else to attend who is otherwise unable

• Share the link LaunchGood.com/AAC and spread the word

• Use the hashtag #AfgAm17 on social media

Why it Matters

In short, AAC is being proactive about making this conference successful, but we need your help to ensure it. All donations are tax-deductible via our fiscal sponsor, Afghan Medical Professional Association of America (AMPAA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It is our sincere hope that you consider contributing to this extraordinary cause!
