Strengthening Nonprofits
Nonprofits are at the forefront of tackling economic insecurity where it hits hardest. Strong nonprofits mean stronger communities. We’re building a robust ecosystem of nonprofit organizations to help Korean American communities nationwide thrive.
Explore the four strategies that define our commitment:
Grants
