The Asian American and Pacific Islander Thriving Initiatives Fund

Asian American & Pacific Islander communities are deeply woven into Berkeley’s past, present, and future. Yet these communities remain underrepresented in conversations about educational equity and institutional transformation. Join us in uplifting visibility, cultivating belonging, and expanding access across our diverse communities.

With your support, Berkeley can grow and sustain efforts such as:

• Legacy-building courses like “The History of Asian American Activism” developed and taught by Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies faculty

• Thriving-focused programming and community forums hosted by Asian Pacific American Student Development (APASD)

• Gatherings that celebrate Asian American & Pacific Islander leadership, coordinated by APASD in partnership with campus leadership and the Division of Equity & Inclusion

• Research and policy collaborations with state and national Asian American & Pacific Islander networks, led by AAADS faculty and APASD

The AA & PI Thriving Initiatives Fund is coordinated in partnership with the Asian Pacific American Student Development Office and Division of Equity & Inclusion.
