Funding Priorities
The Asian Pacific Fund monitors the urgent and emerging needs of Asian Americans in the Bay Area. This allows us to build close ties with community groups and to select a priority area every year where our grants would have a positive, lasting impact. Grants are awarded to affiliate agencies by the Board of Directors from discretionary funds, and we often support programs that address needs overlooked by mainstream funders. Our recent priority areas are listed below.
