Founded in 2002, the Asian Giving Circle (AGC) works to support Asian and Pacific Islander-led nonprofits in Chicago, aiming to advance social justice within these communities. AGC focuses on pooling and directing financial resources toward organizations that confront current issues faced by the diverse API communities. As part of a larger network initiated by Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy, AGC's mission encompasses the belief that strategic giving can transform and build a better world through supporting broader struggles for liberation alongside specific community needs.
In 2023, the AGC aims to distribute unrestricted grants of $8,000 each to 10 organizations that are led by and focus on their communities, particularly those that work toward enhancing the well-being of individuals, families, and communities across eight dimensions: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, environmental, spiritual, vocational, and financial. This approach underlines AGC's commitment to holistic well-being as a tool for social justice and empowerment within the Asian and Pacific Islander communities in the Chicagoland area.
