About Asian Pacific Institute on Gender-Based Violence
Asian Pacific Institute on Gender-based Violence centers its grantmaking on disrupting gender-based violence within AAPI communities across the U.S. and its territories. The largest recent award in the data is $506,520 to Guam Coalition Against Sexual in Hagatna, Guam, a signal that the foundation supports organizations working in place-based response systems as well as national networks. Its recent grants also reach groups serving specific communities and geographies, including Monsoon Asians & Pacific Isla in Des Moines and Arab American Family Services in Worth, Illinois. The pattern across the recent grants is program assistance: the foundation is funding service delivery, technical support, and program implementation rather than individuals. The recipient list includes advocacy and direct-service organizations, community-based groups, and training-oriented intermediaries. Awards appear in many states and territories, with repeated support to some organizations and a mix of California-based and national recipients. That mix fits a funder focused on AAPI community-specific services, domestic violence, sexual violence, human trafficking, training and technical assistance, and advocacy.
What Asian Pacific Institute on Gender-Based Violence Funds
In domestic violence and sexual violence work, the foundation gave $152,826 to Asian Against Domestic Abuse in Houston and $144,737 to Raksha Inc in Atlanta, both under program assistance. For AAPI community-specific services, it funded Aapcho in San Leandro with $145,670 and Asian Health Services in Oakland with $133,787. Those awards point to support for organizations that combine direct services with culturally specific care. The grants also show attention to capacity-building and technical support. Effective Planning & Innovati in Honolulu received $131,358, while Center for Empowered Politics in Oakland received $155,249. On the human trafficking and refugee-support side, Noor Family Services Corporat in Alpharetta received $140,457, and Women for Afghan Women Inc in Fresh Meadows received $120,097. The named grantees reflect a broad mix of community-based service providers and advocacy groups.
How Asian Pacific Institute on Gender-Based Violence Gives
Typical grants sit in a fairly tight band: the p25 is $28,572, the median is $39,872, and the p75 is $51,087. The recent grant list also includes several much larger program-assistance awards, showing that the foundation makes both routine operating support and larger project awards within the same programmatic frame. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Recurring support is visible in the recent grants: Guam Coalition Against Sexual appears in both 2024 and 2025, and Monsoon Asians & Pacific Isla appears in both years as well. Grants in the current file are all program assistance.
