To cultivate philanthropists to invest in organizations that empower underserved AANHPI communities to prosper by increasing philanthropy among AANHPI individuals and sustaining and growing the AANHPI nonprofit sector.
A standout feature of Asian Pacific Community Fund of Southern California is the mix of large capacity-building grants and broad support for AANHPI-serving organizations across Southern California. In the recent grants list, the largest award went to Stand With Asian Americans in San Francisco for $1,008,283, while several other sizable grants supported local organizations tied to education, health, and community infrastructure. The funder’s stated purpose is to cultivate philanthropists who invest in organizations that empower underserved AANHPI communities to prosper, with an emphasis on sustaining and growing the AANHPI nonprofit sector. That mission shows up in a grant portfolio that includes both direct service groups and intermediary institutions. Taiwan Center Foundation in Rosemead received $219,700 in 2025, and Herald Christian Health Center in Rosemead received repeated support, including a $125,000 grant in 2023 and a $75,000 grant in 2025. The foundation also funds community organizations in Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Orange County, alongside scholarship and capacity-building activity. Its structure as a mixed community foundation aligns with donor-partnered programs, network membership, and competitive operating grants tied to AANHPI-serving nonprofits.
Education and youth support appear alongside community services in the foundation’s grantmaking. Taiwanese American Scholarship Fund in Pasadena received $88,000 in 2024 and $76,500 in 2023, and Chandler School in Pasadena received $85,000 in 2025 and $70,000 in 2024. Those awards fit the organization’s scholarship and education access focus. Health-related grantmaking is another clear thread. Herald Christian Health Center in Rosemead received $125,000 in 2023, $85,000 in 2024, and $75,000 in 2025. The Firecracker Fund program also supports healthy lifestyles through nutrition and physical fitness among underserved AANHPI communities in Los Angeles and Orange counties. The foundation also funds cultural and civic infrastructure. Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment Foundation Inc in Los Angeles received $120,000 in 2023, $87,500 in 2024, and $60,000 in 2025, showing support for organizations serving AANHPI communities across multiple years.
