Asian American Federation

www.aafederation.org

Established in 1989, the Asian American Federation is a nonprofit umbrella organization of 42 community service agencies. The Federation’s mission is to advance the civic voice and well-being of Asian Americans. Our areas of focus include health & human services, education, economic opportunity, civic participation, social justice, and strengthening community nonprofits. The Federation provides grants and capacity building assistance to member agencies, conducts research on community needs, and provides a leadership voice on behalf of the agencies and the community.

  • Connecting Resources to Community Needs

The Federation actively promotes Asian American philanthropy through donor education, issue briefings, as well as opportunities for giving and volunteering. From the funds raised annually, the Federation makes grants to its member agencies on a competitive basis.

  • Giving Voice to Community Concerns

The Federation works with member agencies to provide a unifying voice on cross-cutting issues confronting the Asian American community. It conducts research, provides briefings to government officials and philanthropic leaders, hosts forums, and organizes advocacy efforts with member agencies.

  • Building Capacity of Community Service Organizations

Since inception, one of the Federation’s priorities has been to help member agencies strengthen their governance, management capacity, and operational infrastructure. In addition, the Federation helps agencies access funding from government and foundations as well as facilitate collaboration among them.

For Census 2010 outreach the Federation has a four-pronged strategy.  The Federation will facilitate Census Bureau activities in the Asian community, collaborate and re-grant to our partner community-based organizations (CBOs) in outreach activities, perform direct community outreach to Asian ethnicities without partner CBOs, and place paid ads in transit and ethnic media in coordination with the Census Bureau and our partners..
