Where AANHPI philanthropy professionals find community, belonging, and collective strength.
AAPIP Affinity Spaces are member-led communities designed specifically for AANHPI professionals working in philanthropy. These are safe, intentional gatherings where you can connect with peers who share your lived experiences and understand your professional journey.
Whether you’re navigating workplace challenges, seeking authentic connections, or looking to build solidarity across our diverse communities, these spaces offer something you can’t find anywhere else in philanthropy.
Find Your Community
We currently facilitate affinity spaces for members who identify as:
- Southeast Asian
- AMEMSA (Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, South Asian)
- LGBTQIA+
- New Gen (Gen Z, Millennial, Zillennial)
- Filipino
Each space creates room for the nuanced conversations and connections that happen when we gather around shared identity and experience.
What to Expect
These gatherings are yours to shape. Members consistently tell us these sessions help them feel less isolated, more supported, and better connected to peers who truly understand their work in philanthropy.
You’ll find space for authentic conversation, professional support, and the kind of community that strengthens both your work and your sense of belonging in this sector.
