AAPIP leverages its positionality to serve as a bridge connecting Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities and philanthropy. We strive to transform practices and systems within the philanthropic sector so that AANHPIs are seen in their leadership, and wealth and resources are redistributed in more equitable and just ways. We envision a world where AANHPIs are valued, have full self-determination, and can thrive and feel safe within their communities alongside Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and those situated at the intersection of multiple identities.
As a membership-based and chapter-based organization, AAPIP strives to deepen connection and belonging, build power, mobilize more resources for AANHPI communities, and ultimately redistribute wealth in more just and systematic ways. Our work is organized around two key pillars: community care and philanthropic advocacy.
