Details:
This program addresses the critical funding gaps that disproportionately affect Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) arts and culture organizations. A 2025 report by the Asian American Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy revealed that for every $100 awarded by U.S. funders, only 34 cents goes to Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. In response, these grants will support AAPI arts and culture organizations whose creative work uplifts and serves their communities, while expanding collective understanding of the AAPI arts and culture landscape nationwide.
