Our Mission
Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP) expands and mobilizes resources for AAPI communities to build a more just and equitable society.
For every $100 awarded by foundations, only 20 cents is designated to Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities.
Philanthropic support for AANHPI communities needs to dramatically increase to meet the current and growing needs of over 30 million AANHPI people.
