Who is AAPIP?

AAPIP is a justice-minded national membership-based philanthropic affinity group that provides unique, irreplaceable community spaces for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, alongside people of color, LGBTQ people, and other allies in philanthropy. AAPIP works in coalition with identity-based philanthropy affinity groups, known as the CHANGE Philanthropy coalition, to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in philanthropic spaces and mobilize more philanthropic resources to underserved communities.

  • Field and Member Education and Engagement: Through field-facing and member facing education and engagement, AAPIP provides thought leadership, advocacy tools and relationship building through our educational products and research, convenings and webinars as well as through our communications that are meaningful and helpful to the sector.
  • Leadership Impact: Building connections and networks that inspire action whether they are working groups, ad hoc committees, chapters, giving circles or other philanthropic communities, AAPIP is helping progressive AAPIs find each other, build community so they have the feeling of belonging and strong voice to take actions, big and small, for racial equity and justice.
  • Movement Network and Community Building: AAPIP works to increase philanthropy for people of color communities inclusive of AAPIs. We are strong partners for racial equity and justice for all communities of color, and raise a strong voice in support of our disenfranchised and invisible communities within the very diverse AAPI community.

Institutional and individual members of AAPIP are part of a robust community who are aligned with our racial equity principles. As a membership based organization, our member dues help support our programs which are centered on racial equity, solidarity and justice in philanthropy.
