Our Mission
We took everything about who we are and what we do and made a short video for you see and share. We are so grateful for each and every new friend we have made along the way, whether you’re a volunteer, team member, donor or a new friend we welcomed, we are so grateful you helped make Welcome to America Project so amazing!
Buy a Heart, Give a Heart!
When you buy an original, hand painted heart by one of our refugees, we will give a heart to a newly arrived refugee family to display in their new home.

Need a Tax Credit?
The Arizona Charitable Tax Credit reduces your state taxes owed, dollar-for-dollar as a credit. A donation of up to $800 to WTAP truly costs you nothing as it will be applied as a credit on your state tax return. You can get it all back in the form of an Arizona state liability tax credit!
