Filipino Americans in Philanthropy

Thank you to those who participated in the Filipinos in Philanthropy meet-up at Power in Solidarity this past summer.  It was joyous to connect with all of you and share physical space, smiles, and laughter together. 

In the spirit of Filipino American History Month, AAPIP invites you to continue this momentum by joining us for a second meet-up for Filipino Americans working in philanthropy. If you are interested and available, please share your availability with us via this doodle poll. We will try our best to accommodate as many folks as possible in scheduling!   If you know other Filipino Americans in the field who would be interested in attending, please pass along this invitation.

Join AAPIP and Pew Research Center on Wednesday, October 26th at 1:00 pm PDT / 4:00 pm EDT for a two-part webinar and community space!

The webinar will be an exploration of Pew Research Center’s latest documentary and data essay, Being Asian in America, which shares the experiences and views of Asian Americans across 18 distinct Asian ethnic origin groups. Conducting interviews and focus groups with 264 participants, Pew’s analysis captured the following:
 

• Participants’ relationship to pan-ethnic labels such as “Asian” or “Asian American” and identity stemming more from birthplace and evolving throughout their lifetime
• Participants’ sense of belonging in the United States, the role of their ethnic identity, and their definition of what it means to be “American”
• Participants’ experiences contributing to the diversity and values of this nation’s diverse story

Following the webinar, attendees will have an opportunity to join a virtual community space hosted by AAPIP to process their own personal reflections relating to the themes explored in Being Asian in America and connect with each other about how their identities are seen, celebrated and included in their philanthropic workplace. Understanding ourselves and our identities is essential for advocating for racial justice in philanthropy. We intend to cultivate a space for reflection and community building.

RSVP is required to attend the event. Please note whether you are connected through AAPIP or Pew Research Center on this RSVP form.

Space is limited. AAPIP members and philanthropic professionals are prioritized.

We look forward to seeing you!

It's been at least six months since we've launched AAPIP-NY's first-ever peer coaching pilot for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) in philanthropy. If you participated in the peer coaching pilot, we'd like to officially close out the pilot by coming together, meeting one another, and sharing feedback so that the AAPIP-NY Steering Committee can improve the program for next time.

This portion will be in a hybrid format. We look forward to seeing you in-person at The Ford Foundation (320 E 43rd St, New York, NY) or online via zoom. All peer-coaching participants will be sent zoom information closer to the date.
