About Gbc International Bank Foundation

About Gbc International Bank Foundation
Gbc International Bank Foundation’s clearest pattern is steady, small-scale support for Asian/Pacific American community services in Southern California, with scholarships and direct aid running alongside program grants. In the recent grants list, Apa Family Support Services received $12,000 in 2025 and $11,000 in 2024, showing repeated support for education, elderly, and health-related work in San Francisco. Another recurring recipient, Herald Family Center in San Gabriel, received $9,000 in both 2024 and 2025 for education. The foundation also backed Monterey Park Victim Funds with $10,000 in 2024, linking its giving to local emergency response as well as longer-term community services. Smaller awards appear throughout the portfolio, including grants for youth development, counseling support, and scholarship programs in the bank’s service territories. Across the grants shown, the foundation’s style is practical and program-oriented, with amounts that are generally measured in the low thousands rather than large institutional commitments. Its funding reads as local, responsive, and tied to community organizations serving families, seniors, and students.
What Gbc International Bank Foundation Funds
Education is a consistent thread. The foundation gave $9,000 in 2024 and $5,000 in 2025 to Los Angeles Educational Partnership for education, and awarded $5,000 in 2025 to Educare Foundation for education. Student access also appears through scholarship support: Jackson Dowell and Shoshana Basya Cassell each received $3,000 in 2025 for student scholarship. Elder services and health are another clear area. Grandma's House of Hope in Anaheim received $3,000 in 2025 for elderly/health, while Affordable Living for the Aging in West Hollywood received $3,000 in 2023 for elderly community service. Counseling support shows up as well, including a $4,000 grant in 2023 to Youth Eastside Services for fund counseling services. Community assistance can also be direct, as shown by the $10,000 grant to Monterey Park Victim Funds for community assistance.
How Gbc International Bank Foundation Gives

The recent list also shows occasional larger program awards, including $9,000, $10,000, $11,000, and $12,000. Recipients appear across multiple years in several cases, with repeated support to Apa Family Support Services, Herald Family Center, Los Angeles Educational Partnership, Boys and Girls Club of West San Gabriel Valley, and Junior Achievement of Southern California. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it funds individuals. Scholarship programs listed as accepting unsolicited applications suggest at least some open application pathways.
