Founded by philanthrofolk in the Asian Affinity group at the Colorado Health Foundation in 2020, AAPIP-Rocky Mountain will serve as a regional hub for AAPIs in philanthropy, highlighting the importance of diversity within the vast AAPI communities. As an emerging chapter, AAPIP-Rocky Mountain is actively identifying and recruiting AAPIs and allies in philanthropy within Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico areas. In their own words, AAPIP-Rocky Mountain Chapter Co-Chairs, Chris Bui and Jin Tsuchiya “hope that establishing a new chapter allows AAPI individuals in the region to be a part of a network to learn from, share experiences with, and gain insight into how they approach DEI work in their office and community.”
