TAAF was founded in 2021 by prominent AAPI leaders at the height of anti-Asian hate to advance safety, belonging, and prosperity for our communities. Our mission is simple but urgent: to build a safer, better future for all.
We’re working to make cities safer for AAPI communities: protecting neighborhoods, strengthening small businesses, and ensuring families can live, work, and thrive without fear.
We’re increasing representation and shifting culture through authentic storytelling—ensuring AAPIs are seen and see themselves as central to the American story in classrooms, on screens, and in everyday life.
We’re investing in AAPI leaders by expanding opportunity and unlocking the resources needed to thrive—from economically disadvantaged small business owners and college students to boardroom leaders uplifting the next generation.
TAAF funds critical data to help identify the community’s greatest needs. Essential studies, like our annual STAATUS Index, provide a granular understanding of the AAPI experience to inform policy and strategy nationwide.
