The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) is a convener, incubator, and investor dedicated to accelerating opportunity and prosperity for Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities. TAAF was founded in response to rising anti-Asian hate and violence, addressing a longstanding history of underinvestment in the AAPI population. Serving as a catalyst for change, the organization strives to create a more inclusive and equitable America, free from discrimination and violence, where opportunities are accessible to all.
TAAF works through a powerful combination of advocacy, investment, and innovation, focusing on initiatives that combat hate, foster education, shift narratives, and build representation. Through strategic partnerships, TAAF supports organizations and leaders working to deliver long-term, systemic change. This work underscores a profound commitment to empowering the 23 million AAPI individuals across the United States.
