AAF works to raise the influence and wellbeing of the pan-Asian community in NYC through research, advocacy and empowering the nonprofits that serve the community.

Asian Americans are 15% of New York city’s population, and the fastest-growing ethnic group. Yet, they continue to encounter significant obstacles to their wellbeing and success. • 70% are immigrants. • 25 % live in poverty and that number keeps growing • Of immigrants in poverty, 70% of Asian immigrants have limited English proficiency. When it comes to mental health, suicide was the leading cause of death for Asian New Yorkers from 1997-2016.

We gather research and data about the pan-Asian community, and then use the findings to to advocate for Asian New Yorkers at the local and state government level, with corporations and funders, and the media, and to use our leadership role to tackle some of the toughest issues facing the community.
