#TogetherWeBuild

Together We Build is the heartbeat of our mission, mindset, and method.

To build a better future for AAPIs, we launched our portfolio strategy to call on donors to co-invest with us in nonprofits in this community. By connecting our partners to join us, we're harnessing our collective power to create a world with greater belonging and prosperity for all.
TAAF funds best in class nonprofits and executes high impact programs and events.
This approach allows us to meet the moment to achieve unprecedented change.
A five-year portfolio strategy
We’re launching a five-year portfolio strategy to catalyze resources and focus our efforts on four core initiatives: Anti-hate, Education, Narrative Change, Resources & Representation. Each initiative will include multi-year and one time grants as well as TAAF’s own high impact programmatic initiatives and events.
A community-based approach
Organizations and leaders have been working tirelessly to support AAPI communities, but they are under-funded and under-resourced. We’re providing support for those on the front lines of anti-hate, education, and narrative change to ensure they have the resources needed to deliver long-term systemic change.
Building Together
Since our founding, we have been proud to convene and connect stakeholders across sectors to align efforts, invest resources, and build power and representation for the AAPI community.
Here’s how our five-year portfolio strategy works:
Build
We identify best in class nonprofit organizations
These key organizations span across each of TAAF's core initiatives.
Multiplier Effect
We invest in each initiative and invite donors to join us
We invite new and existing donors to co-invest with us to multiply funding and catalyze impact.
Funding + Capacity
We provide grants + capacity building to the nonprofits in each initiative
Organizations receiving multi-year grants will receive capacity building support, others will receive one-year grants to deepen and sustain their impact.
Programs & Events
We design programs together
We execute high impact programs and events to meet the evolving needs of our community.
Six principles guide our work.
