Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP)

Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander organizations have received less than 0.2% of foundation funding over the past three decades, and the amount of funding they do receive has been on a decline. For the past 5 years, the #GiveInMay campaign has served as a pivotal opportunity to change that, raising funds and awareness for nonprofits who provide vital services to the most vulnerable in our community. We’re halfway through #AANHPI Heritage Month, and in the last 15 days Give In May has raised over $100,000 for organizations serving our communities across the country. There are 16 days left to give—are you ready to #donate and help make a difference? https://www.giveinmay.org/ #AHM #philanthropy

The annual Give In May campaign has started! In celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, AAPIP has joined Asian Pacific Community Fund (APCF) and AAPI Data as a community partner for the month-long, online giving campaign to raise awareness and funds for organizations serving #AANHPI communities across the country. As we honor the achievements and milestones of the AANHPI community this month, we also know that nonprofits need continued support to provide essential services and programs. You can make a difference in helping our AANHPI community by donating to a nonprofit today: https://www.giveinmay.org/ #AHM #philanthropy #GiveInMay

You're invited to session 2 of our Advocacy Training Series, Investing in Change: Philanthropic Support for Advocacy & Lobbying! In this second session, participants will hear from legal experts at Bolder Advocacy about the IRS rules and legal parameters related to advocacy and lobbying for private and public foundations and nonprofits. We will dispel the myth that foundations can’t lobby or fund grantees that engage in lobbying and other forms of advocacy. Come with your questions and be ready to transform your understanding of all that is possible as you build out your advocacy programs! Missed the first session? Watch the recording on our site, then register for session 2 below! https://lnkd.in/e-Buwn4a Speakers: Monika Graham, Bilingual Counsel, Bolder Advocacy Program, Alliance for Justice #philanthropy #advocacy #lobbying

Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP) wishes a fond farewell to Patricia Eng, who is retiring and will step down as AAPIP’s President and CEO 🎉 Eng joined the organization in 2019. Under Eng’s leadership, AAPIP’s institutional and individual membership doubled. She also grew the staff and budget, positioning the organization for success. As the membership and organization grew, Eng worked to organize individuals at all levels within philanthropy to show up for AANHPI communities during unprecedented times. The AAPIP Board has appointed Lyle Matthew Kan as Interim President and CEO, effective immediately. Previously, Kan served as Interim National Director of Change Philanthropy, Interim Vice President of Programs of AAPIP, and Vice President of Research & Communications of Funders for LGBTQ Issues. Among other things during his previous tenure at AAPIP, he authored the first report on AANHPI funding in 14 years, Seeking to Soar: Foundation Funding for Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities. https://ow.ly/r7Ga50PWNQI
