Honorees
Our Annual Celebration & Awards
This year, we recognize Lateefah Simon, Karen Perkins, and Peggy Saika. These three were critical in helping our founder, Eddy Zheng, “Defy the Impossible” by creating a public foundation from the ground up that would explicitly fund grassroots AANHPI organizations serving people directly impacted by criminalization, deportation, and violence. AANHPIs, on the whole, only receive 20 cents of every $100 philanthropic dollars, and these communities receive much less.
