Giving
We respect the diversity among Asian Americans and we strive to be responsive to the needs in each community.Although many of our donors support charities across a broad range of communities and needs, they often have personal priorities they want to address. Donors, through us, can learn about needs in Asian communities that they did not know existed. The Fund monitors issues in the Asian community and also receives professional advice in evaluating which programs and organizations to support.
The Fund offers donors targeted solutions for the type of charitable investment they want to make. Donors and advisors like working with us because we place a very high priority on helping donors fulfill their wishes. In addition to enabling the donor to pursue personal interests and priorities, most gift options entitle the donor to an immediate tax deduction, while other gift options offer advantages in terms of capital gains or estate taxes. Timing is important as we are all affected by life’s cycles. Some people like to give at times of celebration or to honor a loved one. For example, we can help donors set up a donor advised fund, a scholarship program or a charitable trust. We will take into account your goals and tax interests, so you benefit even as your contribution supports important programs.
