Today marks my first day as President and CEO of Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP), and I am deeply honored to join this organization and work alongside an incredible team of staff, board of directors, individuals members, chapters, and other stakeholders.

With $140 billion in annual philanthropy, institutional funders have the resources to make transformational investments in communities that have been systematically underfunded for decades.

Re-live the incredible energy, powerful solidarity, and magical moments from AAPIP’s milestone 35th Anniversary Conference in Chicago, where 450 changemakers came together to advance social justice and build the future of AANHPI philanthropy.

Through a partnership with Chinese for Affirmative Action, AAPIP launched a series of discussions and in-person advocacy intended to (re)situate Asian Americans within the broader conversations around civil rights, and develop tangible, collective actions to support an infrastructure within philanthropy and beyond for race-explicit grantmaking, programs, and policies.

AAPIP is hosting affinity spaces to cultivate a stronger and more intentional sense of community within diasporas of AAPIP’s Network. Participate in an upcoming AAPIP Affinity Space here!

With 11 chapters across the nation, AAPIP 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.
