About ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER LEADERS FORUM

Asian American Pacific Islander Leaders Forum (branded Leaders Forum) is a San Francisco–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that convenes AANHPI leaders, executives, and civic partners to advance public-policy solutions, build leadership pipelines, and amplify community-informed research. In the last 2–3 years the organization has focused on research partnerships, digital tools and capacity-building: it secured funding for new Pew AANHPI research, launched a Presidential Appointments Platform to connect leaders to public-sector roles, and has been developing the "StopH8" hate-incident reporting tool while continuing to receive foundation support for program and capacity needs.
