Arab Center Washington DC (ACW) is a non-profit, non-partisan research organization based in Washington, DC, focused on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and on increasing economic, political, and social understanding of the Arab world in the United States. The group conducts educational exchange, academic research, and policy analysis to provide informed perspectives and aims to foster conversations that translate into actionable ideas for U.S. and Arab world stakeholders. As a 501(c)(3) organization, ACW relies on contributions from supporters, including foundations and corporations, to support its work and scholarly exploration of Arab affairs. ACW positions itself within the international affairs and policy analysis sector, serving policymakers, scholars, and informed readers seeking objective insight into the region. It seeks to be a convening voice on timely topics that matter to both the United States and the Arab world, with activities such as public opinion surveys and expert commentary contributing to a broader understanding of Middle Eastern political, cultural, economic, and social dynamics. The center operates from the District of Columbia and has a presence as an independent think-tank-style entity focused on research and education rather than advocacy. There are recent indicators of its activity, including the launch of the 2022 Arab Opinion Index in early 2023.
