OUR IMPACT


OUR VALUES

Entrepreneurial
As an outgrowth of the Cal Asian Chamber of Commerce, the largest ethnic chamber in California, we understand and know the importance of being entrepreneurial to make the most impact for our constituents.

Open-Minded
AAPI success does not happen in a vacuum. Success requires ally ship and relationship building. We pride ourselves in being open minded and open armed in working with diverse people, community and organizations.

Loyal
We believe longevity and development of our staff and leadership leads to ever growing and maturing institutional knowledge and know-how that compounds like interest.

Outcome-Focused
We focus on maximizing tangible and measurable outcomes for the constituents.

Work Ethic
Hard work is a root trait of Asian culture, and so too at the CalAsian Foundation, we know hard work leads to great outcomes.


OUR PROGRAMS

The CalAsian Foundation believes that our statewide leadership must reflect the diversity and viewpoints of all of our communities. We are committed to the growth of the next generation of leaders, helping them build up their individual capabilities and contributions, expand their network, and appreciate the critical role that diversity, inclusion, and equity play in building more healthy, vibrant communities.

Since 2007, hundreds of AAPI leaders have been promoted, taken on new leadership posts, serve on local boards and commissions, and some have pursued elected office after graduating from our Catalyst, NextGen, and NODE leadership programs. These professionally managed, hands-on development experiences have given our graduates high-value skills in problem-solving, conflict management, interest-based negotiations, coalition building, and navigating change.

Increasingly today, the CalAsian Foundation recognizes that inclusive economic growth in California and effective advocacy for millions of Asian Pacific Islanders depends upon greater numbers of AAPIs entering political office and influential posts in government.


OUR NEEDS

Individual donations, no matter large or small, make a huge impact in the lives of the participants by providing no-cost or low-cost access to our programs to procuring essential resources needed to operate our programs. With your contribution, our organization along with our programs will be able to empower our program participants to set a high standard for life successes, help working professionals gain their first promotion and support community leaders in operating their business or nonprofits more efficiently – every contribution makes a difference!
