Our Role
In 2024, the New Breath Foundation partnered with us to develop its strategic framework for the next phase of its work. Founded in 2017 by Eddy Zheng, the New Breath Foundation is rooted in AANHPI grassroots movements to prevent community violence, end mass incarceration and mass deportation, and advance cross-racial solidarity and racial justice. The next few years of their work will be rooted in:
1. Direct grantmaking to AANHPI-led and movement-led organizations to advance cross-racial equity and justice.
2. Leading advocacy within philanthropy to increase investments in historically under-resourced AANHPI communities and toward transforming how philanthropy engages grassroots movements.
3. Supporting leaders and organizations in the field to center those who are directly impacted by criminalization, incarceration, detention, deportation, and the harms and violence of those systems.
4. Advancing narrative change to more accurately amplify the diversity of AANHPI communities and their needs and strengths.
