This AAPI Heritage Month, we invite you celebrate, honor, and invest in the vibrant Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities that call New Jersey home.

From the stories of those who were born here, to those who built new lives here, our communities are woven into the fabric of this state. We are students, small business owners, artists, parents and leaders. We are your neighbors.

And here to stay.

Your support helps sustain programs that foster connection, protect our communities, and uplift our voices.

Youth leadership and mentorship programs
Cultural events and community storytelling
Advocacy efforts and community safety initiatives
Resources for AAPI families and small business.

This month, we are trying to recruit 300 unique donors to help us unlock a challenge gift of $25,000 to continue building a stronger, more inclusive future for AAPI communities across New Jersey.

With your support we can:

$25 - Ship Roots & Routes maps to 3 teachers for their classrooms
$50 - Donate a curated bundle of books and resources on AAPI celebrations to a teacher
$200 - Support one Know Your Rights community training workshop
$500 - Fund one Roots & Routes educator workshop
$2000 - Provide transportation for 50 people to Asian American Advocacy Day in Trenton

Every dollar planted is a seed for growth.

Make your gift today and help our communities bloom.

Bloom Here. Belong Here.
