Description
The Asian Pacific Community Fund is a community-based, nonprofit fund that was created to fulfill a need for a unified effort to educate and encourage donors to direct their charitable giving to benefit community organizations serving the rapidly growing population of Asian Pacific Islanders in Los Angeles. As such, APCF partners with its Affiliate Agencies to conduct charitable giving campaigns in public, private, and nonprofit organizations throughout Los Angeles County.
APCF Affiliate Agencies collectively provide culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate programs and services to over 200,000 people each year throughout Los Angeles County. Programs and services are provided in a total of 27 Asian languages plus English and Spanish.
APCF is a network of community organizations focused on serving the vast and critical needs of the Asian, Pacific Islander, and other ethnic communities in the Greater Los Angeles area. The mission of APCF is to meet the diverse needs of Asian Pacific Islanders by building healthier communities, developing API leaders, creating a stronger API voice and providing the foundation for a brighter tomorrow.
Established in 1990, APCF fills a much needed gap in the Asian Pacific Islander (API) community as the only API community-based fund of its kind in Southern California raising funds through charitable workplace giving programs. APCF serves as the vehicle for the following: educating employees on the needs of the API community, informing employees of the programs and services available to those in need provided by APCF agencies, and providing employees with the choice to give directly to the API community by making a one time gift or payroll deduction commitment to APCF. Without this avenue to give, funds raised in the workplace through individual donors would be dramatically reduced, redirected elsewhere, or not donated at all.
Since its founding, APCF has raised and distributed over $1.5 million in unrestricted grants to its Affiliates. These grants enable APCF agencies to both launch new initiatives and strengthen current programs and services for diverse Asian Pacific Islander clients, including: disadvantaged children, youth, disabled, seniors, immigrants, refugees, battered women, and low income families.
As the only Asian and Pacific Islander community-based fund in Southern California, the work of APCF is more important now than ever. APCF is and continues to be -- a vital link -- between donors and APIs in need by building a community of giving, one donor at a time.
