Asian American Press: "New Report Shows Key Gaps in Funding for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
SAN FRANCISCO (June 21, 2007) – The giving trends of the top U.S. foundations to Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities has not kept pace with the growth of these communities or of foundation assets, according to a new report released today by Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP). The report, Growing Opportunities, looks at the country’s top 20 national foundations’ grantmaking between 1990 and 2002 and finds significant funding disparities to AAPI communities in several areas.

The report concludes with a call to action to the philanthropy field to reduce these gaps."
