WEST MICHIGAN ASIAN AMERICAN ASSOCIATION INC

West Michigan Asian American Association (WMAAA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that seeks to build a collaborative, active, and committed Asian American community in West Michigan with a focus on healthcare, education, and civic engagement. The organization runs programs including a community health/patient navigation service, youth mentorship and scholarship initiatives, and cultural and business convenings to raise awareness and connect residents to services.

WMAAA was formed from regional Asian community groups and has been tax-exempt since 2004. In recent years the organization has expanded program delivery and leadership capacity (including naming a first full-time executive director in 2025), maintained regular public events such as its annual Asian Gala and conferences, and reported year-end financials consistent with mid-size regional nonprofits (most recent Form 990 filings show revenue and expenses in the low six-figure range and net assets around $440k).
