Overlooked: Foundation Support of AAPI & Native Communities Sorely Lacking

On March 22, Center for Effective Philanthropy will be hosting, “Overlooked: Foundation Support of AAPI & Native Communities Sorely Lacking,” based on the findings from our recent studies that show that Asian Pacific Islander and Native American nonprofit leaders and their communities are being overlooked by foundation funding in the U.S. They are also having less positive experiences with foundation funders than nonprofit leaders of other races/ethnicities. This has been the case during, as well as prior to, the pandemic.

These trends and other findings can be found in two reports released by CEP in December 2021.

The webinar will feature a presentation of findings by CEP’s VP of Research, Ellie Buteau, followed by an interactive discussion with these sector leaders:

Patricia Eng, President & CEO, Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP)
