SAT-7 is financially supported by interested individuals, churches, corporations and foundations from the Middle East and North Africa and around the world.

The organization's mission is advanced by support offices: SAT-7 Brasil, SAT-7 Canada, SAT-7 Europe, SAT-7 Hong Kong, SAT-7 UK, and SAT-7 USA Rex M. Rogers.

The SAT-7 website states that "SAT-7 has always been committed to holistic programming, with the aim of ministering to people in all areas of their life: spiritual, emotional, psychological and physical.

"[3] Programming has included dramas promoting the rights of children and women, documentaries about micro-enterprise development, and game shows and music clips that have fostered a better understanding of the needs and potential of the disabled.

SAT-7 Academy programming was developed out of concerns of "losing a generation" of Arab children who miss school due to conflict.

And, while SAT-7 is always seeking to build such ideas into our on-air programming for children, the network also wishes to address the needs and attitudes of poorly trained teachers and parents.

The idea of educational programming is in fact much more than just the delivery of instruction modules for children and youth hungry to learn the basics of literacy and mathematics.
