AAPIP & NAP 35th Anniversary Celebration

Wednesday, May 21 | 6:00–8:00 PM Central
Newberry Library, 60 W Walton St, Chicago, IL 60610

Join us to celebrate the 35th anniversary of both AAPIP and Native Americans in Philanthropy (NAP)—two organizations founded in 1990 to center and uplift communities all too often unseen and unsupported by philanthropy.

Since our founding, we’ve worked in deep partnership—building spaces where our voices are heard, advocating for resources aligned with our communities’ needs, and advancing racial equity through solidarity. From serving as founding partners of the CHANGE Philanthropy coalition, to our joint Power in Solidarity conference in Seattle in 2022, to our most recent work together through the Racial Equity Advancement and Defense Initiative (READI) and Power in Solidarity: Hawaii, our shared history is one of collaboration, courage, and vision.

As part of AAPIP’s 35th Anniversary Conference, we invite you to celebrate this milestone with us—honoring the legacy we’ve built and the future we’re shaping together.

All conference attendees are welcome to join the celebration. Please add the reception to your agenda in Whova. Reception-only tickets ($35) are available for those who just want to join the evening celebration. Let’s celebrate 35 years—and toast to many more!
