Description:
A New Heritage of Giving is an initiative to promote philanthropy, civic involvement and volunteering among Asian Americans. Sponsored by the Asian American Federation, this initiative connects our community assets with our community needs to grow financial resources necessary to build vital community institutions. Though our population, talents, success and wealth have never been greater, there is still much more we can do, individually and collectively, to help Asian Americans still in need so they may also prosper and contribute to this country.

Goals:

  • A healthy, safe community for all our elders
  • A more accepting, open society for our children
  • Quality education for all our youth
  • Fairness and opportunity for our immigrants
  • A politically empowered and informed voice for our concerns
  • Celebration of our cultures, histories and ongoing contributions

We can realize such goals by growing a community of Asian American donors and volunteers who can demonstrate, through resources and actions, to the broader U.S. public what we feel is most important for a thriving, civil society.
