Established in 1990, AAPIP is a justice-minded national philanthropy serving organization that provides unique community spaces for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and allies in philanthropy. We are a membership-based organization that centers equity and justice in philanthropy to move money and build power of AANHPI communities for an inclusive democracy.
AAPIP serves as the progressive home to AANHPIs in philanthropy at all leadership levels across the sector. Anchored by national staff, AAPIP works across the country through a chapter network as sites of regional activism serving as a bridge between philanthropy and local non-profit organizations. These chapters are centers for place-based advocacy, information sharing, leadership development, community building and networking around AANHPI issues and philanthropy.
AAPIP’s Chapters are sites of philanthropic activism where an activated base of AAPIP Members, alongside community and nonprofit partners as well as giving circles, advocate for expanding and mobilizing resources for AANHPI communities to build a more just and equitable society. Chapters serve as local bridges between institutional philanthropy and AANHPI communities and as “test-beds” for deepening AAPIP’s work in 11 regional and metropolitan areas. These chapters are centers for place-based advocacy, information sharing, leadership development, community building and networking around AANHPI issues and philanthropy.
