Philanthropy and Equitable Giving in Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Communities

 

 

Carol Kim, Jacqueline Chun, Seyron Foo, Stephanie Lomibao-Parra

 

The Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP) found that while the AAPI population in the United States continues to grow, AAPI communities account for only 0.20% of all U.S grant making: "for every $100 awarded by foundations for work in the United States, only 20 cents is designated for AAPI communities" (AAPIP). To overcome this invisibility within philanthropic funding, we'll investigate how to increase investments into AAPI communities and move beyond supports from our own AAPI networks and pipelines. This session represents leaders from various levels of corporate, private, and family philanthropic sectors to uncover the barriers and gaps in philanthropic funding and partnerships benefiting AAPI communities. Speakers will share stories based on their own lived experiences to explain the challenges in gaining recognition and support from philanthropy. Here, we aim to equip, empower, and enable AAPI communities in fostering advocacy and collaboration across AAPI communities and philanthropic organizations to create and maintain positive change and long-term impacts.
