GoFundMe.org is organizing this fundraiser:
You can share this GoFundMe.org: https://gofund.me/08aaaa58
A horrific and heartbreaking surge in violence against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) is happening across the US. Too often, these attacks are ignored and underreported.
Together, it is our responsibility to condemn these violent acts and create lasting social change. We must amplify AAPI voices and find ways to uplift, empower, and protect the AAPI community.
The GoFundMe.org Support the AAPI Community Fund aims to do just that, addressing the urgent issues that face the AAPI community as well as broader, systemic problems. With the donations received through the Fund, GoFundMe.org will issue grants to trusted AAPI organizations working to rectify the racial inequalities in our society.
Who benefits from your GoFundMe.org donation?
Donations will support organizations that empower and uplift the AAPI community, with initiatives such as increased community safety and support for those affected by violence.
A cross-sectional advisory group of AAPI advocacy and activist leaders including APIAVote's Christine Chen, Define America's Jose Antonio Vargas, formerly BLD PWR's Lacy Lew Nguyen Wright, and Brad Jenkins of RUN AAPI; cultural leaders Phillip Lim, Gold House, and CAPE; the GoFundMe.org board, and the GoFundMe Trust and Safety teams are reviewing organizations to determine which ones will receive grants from the AAPI Community Fund. At this stage, the focus is on grassroots organizations, including, but not limited to organizations listed here.
GoFundMe.org will continue to keep donors updated as GoFundMe.org expands the reach of its Fund to include additional charities.
Find out more about how you can support AAPI communities.
Funds raised on this campaign will be managed by GoFundMe.org, an independent non-profit organization registered in the United States (EIN 81-2279757). Donors support the GoFundMe.org fund and GoFundMe.org then distributes donations to organizations that help those affected. Your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
- Fundraise for an AAPI organization that works to protect the AAPI community.
- Continue to educate yourself on the challenges facing this community so that you can spread awareness and be an ally.
