Partnerships
Together, we unlock the power of foundations, corporations, and individuals to supercharge leadership pipelines, invest in nonprofits, and support AAPI businesses.
TAAF × Corporate
Better inclusion and advancement for Asian Americans at work starts here.
Every company has unique needs, goals, and perspectives on how to contribute meaningfully to the AAPI community and support their employees. As partners, we guide them throughout their giving journey and support them in the following ways.
In the workplace
We work with companies to support AAPI employees at every level: from entry levels to top executives. Whether it’s advising ERGs, guiding leadership training, or assisting with mentorship programs, we hope to help corporations improve AAPI diversity across the board by creating belonging and visibility at work.
In leadership
Asian Americans account for only 5% of promotions from SVP to the C-Suite. We help companies build a stronger pipeline for AAPI employees to grow into leadership. Through our network of AAPI leaders in a variety of fields, we can provide support and opportunities for professional development along every step of an AAPI employee's career path.
In the community
Beyond work, we invite corporate partners to directly engage community organizations they care about. Through TAAF’s AAPI Giving Challenge, we can collaborate with companies to develop their individual and diverse giving plans. Learn more here.
TAAF × Philanthropy
We’re reimagining the possibilities for AAPI philanthropy with foundations and individuals.
For every $100 awarded by foundations in the U.S., only 20 cents go towards AAPI communities. We are committed to working with foundations, philanthropists, and individuals to change the face of AAPI giving.
Building a new movement
We’re seeing a rise in prominent AAPI philanthropists and leaders who are eager to make a difference in their own communities for the first time. This is philanthropy for AAPIs by AAPIs. We actively welcome these new faces and help them contribute to causes they care about to drive long-term sustainable impact.
Nurturing the community
To change the philanthropic culture around AAPI giving, we’re creating and cultivating a community for donors, whether they’re institutional or individual. When we build community, we grow our impact.
Sharing our expertise
We bring our knowledge of the ecosystem of AAPI causes to guide donors in their efforts to support our community. By sharing best practices, goals, and the most pressing issues affecting our communities, we’re expanding the pool of resources to the causes that need them most.
TAAF × Convenings
We break down barriers when we break bread.
Change doesn’t happen without connection. We need opportunities and a stage to gather leaders across industries to discuss challenges for better solutions. TAAF’s convenings are where those moments of synergy live. They continue to be a critical strategy to bring the right people together at the right time to focus on what really matters for the AAPI community.
In-person events
Our high impact convenings unite leaders in philanthropy, corporations, nonprofits, media, and government to cultivate community, inspire action, and celebrate our achievements. In these moments, we chart a path forward—together.
Actionable discussions
When we bring a diverse community of leaders together, we create space and programming to encourage dialogue. It’s more than bringing people together. It’s what they do after with new connections, insights, and renewed purpose.
Thought leadership
We spark important discourse with trailblazing voices in media, policy, philanthropy, and corporations to learn from and teach each other. For the first time, leaders from all sectors hear from each other to align efforts, strategically invest resources, and develop solutions together.
