About Asian Americans Advancing Justice Atlanta

Asian Americans Advancing Justice Atlanta Inc directs most of its grantmaking toward AANHPI and AMEMSA communities in Georgia and the Southeast, with legal advocacy, policy change, civic engagement, and community power-building at the center of that work. The recent grants list shows a steady mix of immigrant-rights, voting-rights, and language-access organizations, alongside groups meeting basic needs and building local infrastructure for community leadership. Several of the larger awards point to that approach. In 2023, the foundation gave $150,000 to Southeast Asian Coalition in Charlotte for Part IV, while Asian American Voice in Sacramento received $76,000 in 2024. Georgia-based grantees also appear repeatedly, including Cair Georgia in Atlanta and Georgia Muslim Voter Project in Norcross, each tied to the foundation’s broader civil- and human-rights mission. The pattern suggests support for both statewide work in Georgia and selected partners beyond the state when they serve aligned communities. The portfolio also includes organizations working with refugees, immigrants, and multilingual communities, such as Raksha Inc, Refugee Womens Network Inc, and Boat People Sos Atlanta. Across those grants, the foundation backs service delivery, organizing, and policy work that connect direct support with long-term rights advocacy.

Civic engagement is another recurring area. Georgia Muslim Voter Project in Norcross received $65,000 in 2023 for Part IV, and Every Voice Texas in Austin received $50,000 that same year for Part IV. The foundation also funded Nuestras Voces - GA in Atlanta with $25,000 and Coalicion De Lideres Latinos in Dalton with $15,000, both for Part IV. Community support and language-access work appear in grants to The Devi Co-op in Flowery Branch for $50,000, Laotian American Society in Suwanee for $18,000, and Women Watch Afrika in Avondale Estate for $18,000. These grants reflect a mix of direct services, community navigation, and organizing.
