Description
**Who we are**
****The Korean American Community Foundation® (KACF) was founded in 2002 by a group of Korean American leaders in New York with a simple idea: philanthropy by and for the community.****
The goal was to address the chronic underinvestment in the Korean immigrant community by raising funds for programs serving under-resourced Korean American individuals and families, while also mobilizing community members to engage in a culture of giving.
In December of 2002, the Foundation was incorporated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and in 2003, we awarded our first grants totaling $60,000 to five nonprofit organizations. Since then, KACF has grown to become a trusted partner and leading funder in advancing economic security in the Korean and Asian American communities.
As of today, KACF has given more than $14 million in grants and capacity-building support to community-based organizations working to empower individuals, strengthen families and transform communities impacted by poverty
**Our mission**
**To build more equitable and thriving communities by fostering a culture of giving that catalyzes the collective generosity of Korean Americans.**
