TAAF seeks to strengthen AAPI communities through community centric efforts / TAAF
The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) recently announced the launch of the Asian American Voices in San Francisco, under which they will invest more than $1 million into Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI)-serving grassroots community organizations.
TAAF seeks to bring together a coalition of grassroots organizations and Asian industry leaders in San Francisco to tackle the challenges faced by AAPI communities in collaboration with other organizations. In the initiative's first year, TAAF will distribute grants to strengthen organizations across the city, with the aim of bolstering an ecosystem of community-serving nonprofits.

While discussing the importance of the effort, Norman Chen, CEO of TAAF said "TAAF is proud to work with co-funders in the Bay Area to support Asian American Voices in San Francisco, which furthers our commitment to invest in solutions that are community-led and people-centered."
He added, "We believe that this initiative has the power to further support the San Francisco Asian community. By providing these vital grassroots groups with significant resources to support their collaborative efforts, we hope to empower local community members as they work to create a safer and more prosperous future for their city."
Amy Lee, Founder and President of Dear Community highlighted the need for such collaborative efforts and said, "The TAAF grant allows us to continue driving meaningful and tangible changes that are aligned with our shared vision.”
Dear Community is a local grassroots collective of young Asian American activists who organize community events, small business support, and culture-driven events.
She also said, "This initiative is unique as it brings together a coalition of newer generation nonprofit leaders that want to change the status quo and are eager to collaborate with community and City leaders to bring positive change to San Francisco's Asian American community. It is time we take ownership of our own narrative and tell our stories."
