We support Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) organizations working to create a thriving, multiracial democracy.

From Our Grantees
Building since 2013
In 2013, a group of pioneering donors came together to discuss ways to substantively boost AAPI civic engagement. It became apparent that a specific fund, dedicated to expanding and deepening community capacity, was needed. Thus, the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund was conceived.
