About Asian American Coalition for Children and Families
Asian American Coalition for Children and Families Inc funds AAPI community organizations at meaningful scale, with its largest recent awards concentrated in New York City-based groups serving children, families, and youth. In 2025, University Settlement Society received $932,544 for holistic programs, while Chinese-amer Planning Council received $804,790 for the same broad purpose. Those large awards sit alongside a pattern of sustained support for organizations working across education, health, mental health, language access, and anti-bias work. The foundation’s grantmaking shows a strong preference for holistic programming rather than narrow project support. Many recent grants were directed to settlement houses, community centers, and AAPI-serving nonprofits that work directly with families and young people. Apex for Youth Inc, Henry Street Settlement, Educational Alliance Inc, Chhaya Cdc, and Min Kwon Center for Community all appear among the recent recipients, pointing to a portfolio built around community-based service delivery in New York City neighborhoods. The foundation also supports organizations addressing anti-Asian hate and bias, patient navigation, and healing-centered youth programming. Its work is tied to AAPI equity and opportunity, with grants flowing to groups serving Asian American and Pacific Islander communities and related immigrant communities. The recent record suggests an emphasis on established local organizations that can absorb substantial operating support and deliver multiple services at once.
