Right now, our community is in need of a physical space.
It is not an add-on.
Nothing like it exists now.
It is overdue.
Talking about it has been decades.
It is supported by the voices of 224 we heard in 2025.
Doing it is next.
In this May, honoring the AAPI heritage month and the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence, there cannot be a more powerful moment to give.
With your help, the project's next significant step will be possible:
We are raising $20,000 for a Stakeholder Study that develops a Case for Support, which is critical for the next stage of the project, such as applying for fundings from governments or charity foundations.
In particular, it takes the following aspects:
1. Assess Readiness and Project’s Likelihood of Success
2. Cultivate Deeper Relationships with Potential Donors
3. Collect Empirical and Qualitative Data Confidentially
4. Build a List of Names of Additional Prospects
5. Develop and Fine Tune Our Case for Support
In one line, you will help us "Build the Case."
