Through the New York State 2024-2025 AAPI Equity Budget Coalition Funding, CACF will be continuing to administer the NYS AAPI Community Development Fund (AAPI CDF). CACF is committed to supporting organizations located outside of the New York City metro area with these state dollars.
Through this fund, CACF will sub-grant awards up to $30,000 and to not exceed 35% of your annual operating budget through an application process to ensure that community organizations from across NY State who serve diverse AAPI communities are supported through State funds. Projects funded will focus on holistically addressing anti-Asian hate and bias. The timeframe for this project will be 11 months (May 1, 2025 - March 31, 2026). All funded projects must be completed by March 31, 2026.
Please note that organizations previously awarded through NYS AAPI CDF are not guaranteed to be awarded in subsequent cycles
The NYS AAPI CDF is a competitive process, and each cycle more applications are submitted than are able to be funded. Each application is reviewed and considered carefully, and awardees are selected based on the content of the application submitted for the current cycle. While there are many incredible, important projects proposed, the reality is that we cannot, unfortunately, fund every project.
Requirements
This NYS AAPI CDF will support holistic approaches to:1. Address hate, bias, and racism
2. Address mental health needs and increase safety of AAPI New Yorkers
3. Provide critical social and health programs and services that promote the safety and overall well-being of communities.
