IFTAR WITH INAAYAH

APRIL 24, 2021 AT 6:30 PM EDT

A NIGHT OF ART, CHARITY, AND FOOD

BENEFITING BAJI AND THE MIGRANT KITCHEN

DONATE

Inaayah  ( عناية • Care, Concern) is a New York‑based not-for-profit organization dedicated to curating unique, art-forward events benefitting migrant, refugee, and displaced communities. We first came together in 2016 to organize “Iftar for IRAP,” a fundraiser benefiting the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP). Since then, our events have successfully sold over 100 pieces of artwork and raised over $80,000 for organizations including IRAP, Alight, and The Migrant Kitchen.

In addition to our online programming, this year's event will provide an opportunity to donate a meal to New York City families in need. Proceeds will benefit Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI) and The Migrant Kitchen.

MEAL DONATIONS

Chef Nasser Jaber and Dan Dorado of The Migrant Kitchen will cater fresh meals for this year’s iftar. Their menu is influenced by Syrian, Mexican, Indian, and Southwestern flavors. 

Ryan Graham, former executive chef at The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges, leads the kitchen in preparation of this year's meals.

Thanks to your generosity, 400 meals were distributed to the The Abrar, Bronx's community fridge, The Friendly Fridge Bronx, and Masjid At-Taqwa this Ramadan.

BID AND BUY AT AUCTION

This year's silent auction features 40+ prints, original works by artists from around the world, and experiences to enjoy. 

90% of the proceeds raised from the sale of these works benefit BAJI and The Migrant Kitchen with 10% going to the participating artists themselves. 

Please note: shipping will occur after May 12, 2021.
