APA Heritage Foundation

The APA Heritage Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the diverse Asian American and Pacific Islander cultural heritage as well as to providing a forum for community collaborations.   Every year, the Foundation coordinates resources to support San Francisco’s celebration of AAPI Heritage Month.  In addition to the APA Heritage Awards and Reception, an annual signature event in the City, we also work with over 100 Publicity Partners to compile and cross promote the AAPI Heritage Month Celebration Guide, a list of events, activities, and educational resources for the month of May.  Special thanks to our community representatives who volunteer on the APA Heritage Celebration Committee who make this all possible.
