about

who we are

The Colorado AAPI Circle (The Circle) connects AAPI Coloradans to an intentional giving community. We donate money to pooled funds to reinvest in community projects and nonprofit organizations led by or serving Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi communities. The Circle was founded in late 2021.

giving circles

Giving circles help democratize philanthropy, welcoming people of all financial capacity to join together to build collective strength. We each bring our unique lives and experiences to The Circle, and decide together which nonprofit organizations or community projects to support. Through the process, we build strong connections and increase our engagement in the Colorado AAPI community.

our vision

We envision authentic, visible, and interconnected Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi communities. To bring our vision to life, we celebrate our many communities by increasing resources, lifting voices, and growing our civic engagement.
