San Francisco Bay Area

Founded in 1990, we are AAPIP’s oldest and largest chapter whose roots spread both wide and deep within the philanthropic and non-profit communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are excited to have the highest concentration of AAPIP affiliated giving circles in the country, six now calling this region home. With the AAPIP national office in our own backyard, we do not have to look very far to be surrounded by like-minded individuals who are passionate about improving the status of AAPI communities in the region.
