AANHPI Heritage Month Fund

About

May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time to recognize and celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander communities in the United States. May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the U.S. on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869 which had been primarily constructed by Chinese immigrants. Bright Funds has established the AANHPI Heritage Month Fund, composed of highly-rated Asian American nonprofits focused on civil rights, housing rights, legal representation, education, and cultural preservation and expression, all to amplify the community’s voice. Through a single donation to the Fund you will support a group of nonprofits that are working to eliminate discrimination and lift the voices of the AANHPI community. The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change.
