About the Metro DC Chapter

AAPI communities in our region are significant and growing, yet private philanthropy gives less than 1% of its grant dollars to AAPI organizations. AAPIP’s mission of linking AAPI communities with charitable resources is reflected in its long-term goals to:
  • Expand circles of philanthropy and their extent of giving to AAPI communities by educating the philanthropic sector about issues facing AAPIs;
  • Support and facilitate capacity building of key AAPI organizations through strategic grantmaking and new approaches to social justice philanthropy;
  • Promote equity, diversity, and leadership in the philanthropic sector; and
  • Develop a diverse national membership organization with a regional infrastructure representative of geographic areas with major concentrations of AAPI populations.
The Metro D.C. Chapter participates in the following projects:
  • API Directory: The DC/Baltimore chapter is producing the first directory of API serving organizations in Washington, DC. The directory will provide useful information for donors and volunteers.

  • Seasons of Change: The Joint Affinity Groups (JAG) plans to create a four-part discussion series around leadership development for people of color in philanthropy and the non-profit sector.AAPIP is taking an active role in the development of this series with three other affinity groups - HIP, EPIP, and BPA. The first discussion series is slated to take place in January. To learn more or get involved in this project, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
