Deadline: 21-Sep-20
The APIs RISE Fund, comprised of API (Asian and/or Pacific Islander) philanthropists and community leaders, aims to build and strengthen the next generation of API leadership for the Sacramento region.
The APIs RISE mission is to increase the capacity and impact of Asian Pacific Islander philanthropic giving in the capital area. They advance their mission by cultivating and securing resources and by engaging with locals to learn about the issues affecting the community.
Program Focus
This year, the APIs RISE Fund is opening a grant opportunity with the theme “Combating Anti-Asian Hate and Anti-Black Racism.”
Due to the high need from local nonprofits during this pandemic and following the killing of George Floyd, APIs RISE is issuing their annual RFP earlier than its historical end-of-year launch. The focus of the RFP is addressing anti-Asian hate impacting Asian communities and working to combat anti-Black racism within API communities.
