Advance equity and create vibrant, healthy neighborhoods by mobilizing and strengthening a coalition of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander community-based organizations; prevent displacement and expand access to affordable housing, capital, and community development resources for AAPI communities.
A $1,550,000 grant to Our Neighborhoods Capital Fund anchors the recent record for National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development and points to a funder working at neighborhood scale as well as through coalition infrastructure. The foundation backs Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander community-based organizations, with a clear emphasis on housing stability, anti-displacement work, and community development resources for AAPI communities. Its recent awards also show support for culturally specific intermediaries such as Korean Resource Center, which received multiple grants in Los Angeles across housing and neighborhood strategies, and Fresno Interdenominational Refugee Ministries in Fresno for neighborhood strategies, housing counseling, and housing. The grant list includes organizations serving tenants, homeowners, small businesses, and neighborhood residents, alongside groups focused on policy and community empowerment. Grant activity appears to connect direct service with organizing and local capacity, including funds for housing counseling, asset building, small business networks, and community resilience. Across the recent record, the foundation uses grants to strengthen local organizations that can help AAPI communities stay housed, build assets, and shape neighborhood change.
Housing and displacement are central to the foundation’s giving. In 2023, it awarded $343,832 to Korean Resource Center for AAPI Community Resilience Fund and Housing Counseling, and in 2024 it gave $261,717 to the same organization for Housing and Neighborhood Strategies. It also supported Chhaya Community Development Corporation with $104,580 in 2024 for Housing and Neighborhood Strategies. Small business support is another recurring lane: Asian Pacific Islander Small Business Program received $115,250 in 2023 for Small Business Network, and Renaissance Economic Development Corporation received $92,250 in 2023 for the same area. The foundation also funds asset-building work, including $165,100 to Asian Services In Action in 2024 for Housing and Asset Building and $101,978 to Hawaiian Community Assets in 2025 for Housing and Asset Building.

Typical grants cluster around a core middle range: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $25,000, and the 75th percentile is $51,411. The recent grants list shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Korean Resource Center, Fresno Interdenominational Refugee Ministries, Asian Services In Action, Chinese Community Center, Hana Center, Asian Law Alliance, and Chhaya Community Development Corporation. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The foundation is a public charity and a regular funder. It also runs an open program, OurNeighborhoods Peer Learning Program, which accepts unsolicited applications and awards $16,000 grants with peer-learning participation.

Los Angeles appears repeatedly through Korean Resource Center and Asian Pacific Islander Small Business Program; Chicago shows up through Hana Center and Chinese American Service League; Houston appears through Chinese Community Center; and Jackson Heights, New York, appears through Chhaya Community Development Corporation. Other recipient cities include Fresno, Atlanta, San Jose, Honolulu, San Diego, Cleveland, and Washington, DC.
