AppD has established this Fundraiser to support nonprofit organizations working against racism and discrimination in their many, destructive forms. Together we can make a difference – within our companies, our communities, and across the world.

All donations to the fund will be shared across the list of organizations supporting Pan-Asian communities and causes around the world.

As COVID-19 cases began to appear in the U.S. in early 2020, violence against Asians and Asian-Americans began to increase. Since then, amplified nationalism, bigotry, and the spread of misinformation has contributed to a surge in cases of verbal harassment, physical assault leading to serious injury or even death, as well as civil-rights violations. Join InPAC (Intuitive Pan-Asian Community) employee resource group in advocating for justice, fairness, and inclusion for AAPI (Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders) communities and allies across the country. By helping these organizations in the fight against racism, hate, and xenophobia, we can make real progress in building inclusive communities, raising awareness for Asian minorities, and promoting advancement and growth for people of all backgrounds.

Supporting organizations working against racism and discrimination targeted at the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. We stand together with the Asian community to make a difference against the rise in hate.

Advancing social justice in AAPI communities

An ongoing fund for any CAAN related activities or general giving back, for CAAN's partnership with Asian Americans for Community Involvement (AACI) organization.

This year, AACI will be collecting gift cards and funds through December 11, 2020, in order to provide gift cards (typically Target or Amazon) to children of our most under-served clients, including children of domestic violence survivors and refugees. Every $25 will provide a child with a gift card to buy the gift of their choice this holiday season! Donate to bring holiday cheer to low-income families in our community during this difficult time.

Due to ongoing COVID-19 safety measures, AACI is providing gift cards again this holiday season to children of our most under-served families, including children of domestic violence survivors and refugees. Every $25 will sponsor one child to buy the gift of his choice. Your gift this year will provide holiday cheers to the children of our under-served families. AACI will be collecting funds through December 15, 2021. Please donate to help bring smiles and cheers to our children. Thank you!

In partnership with Asian Americans for Community Involvement (AACI), CAAN is hosting a holiday fundraising drive to help bring holiday cheer this season to many low-income families. This includes families of survivors of domestic violence, refugees, foster youth and other low-income clients AACI serves. Our goal this year is to raise funds to provide gifts for approximately 700 children that AACI serves. Our hope is for each child to receive a $25 gift card which will allow the children to choose their own gifts and for families to have a stronger sense of autonomy when it may be difficult for them to accept help. Every $25 equates to a holiday gift for one child. Your gifts enables the families to feel the magic of the holidays with their little ones amidst these challenging times. The holiday drive will run from now to December 15 and every dollar donated will be matched by Cisco!
