National Council on U.S. - Arab Relations (NCUSAR) meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

NCUSAR’s program service activities include the Joseph J. Malone Fellowship in Arab and Islamic studies which offers an opportunity for American professionals from academia, government, the media, and the military to gain exposure to the realities of the Arab world in briefings and conversations with Arab counterparts. The organization’s Model Arab League Student Leadership Development program is a simulation of the League of Arab States that allows students to hone their skills in debate, diplomacy, the politics of coalition-building, and the maneuvering of parliamentary procedure, while building awareness of shaping policies in the Arab world. The annual Arab-U.S. Policymakers Conference brings together Arab and American leaders from government, the military, business, and academe for discussion of critical issues in U.S.-Arab relations. NCUSAR’s Washington, DC summer internship program offers undergraduate and graduate students a ten-week professional, academic, and career opportunity internship. The organization also partners with educational institutions throughout the Arab world to offer students study abroad opportunities. NCUSAR periodically sponsors public educational programs on Capitol Hill and around Washington, DC where specialists analyze and discuss issues of importance to the U.S.-Arab relationship.
