Asian Pacific American Public Affairs (APAPA) is a non-profit, non-partisan civic organization dedicated to promoting civic engagement, leadership development, and public policy advocacy within the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. Founded in 2001, APAPA works to increase participation in public service, encourage voter engagement, and advocate for policies that advance equity and representation.
APAPA typically supports policies related to civil rights, voting access, language access, education equity, immigrant rights, small business support, and increased representation of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities in government and public service.
APAPA is primarily funded through membership dues, individual donations, foundation grants, corporate sponsorships, and event revenue.
APAPA maintains regional chapters across the United States and collaborates with local civic organizations, elected officials, and community leaders within the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.
