Grants Committee
On an annual basis local agencies are invited to submit grant applications. They are evaluated by a grants committee of Asian professionals who work in foundations and government agencies and have experience in reviewing grant proposals, budgets and program evaluations. The committee members make recommendations to the Board of Directors. Please see grants section for more information.
Each Grants Committee serves one time. The following individuals have served as volunteers for this important task:
