“KACF-SF supports organizations that play an essential role in serving what is otherwise an invisible and marginalized population in the Bay Area: low-income, language-isolated Korean immigrants and senior citizens.”
"The work of KACF-SF is necessary, holds deep personal meaning for me, and cultivates an important culture of giving among Korean-Americans. The CGC process was an enlightening, rewarding and efficient experience.”
“With KACF-SF funding, we strengthened our organizational capacity and increased the quality of our services and programs.”
“KACF-SF’s support enables us to address fundamental issues of raising the profile of the Korean community and build community capacity to ensure program efficacy.”
“KACF-SF helps us deepen our outreach and services to the community. KACF-SF is also impacting philanthropy, reaching important community organizations that are very small and not on the radar of the foundation world and government entities.”
Upcoming Events
When someone you love is in a mental health crisis, the information you share with a clinician in that moment matters. It can shape whether your loved one receives the level of care they need, including whether an involuntary hospitalization happens. Too often, families don't know what to say, what forms exist, or where to turn, and loved ones go without needed care simply because the right information wasn't available at the right time. Join us for an evening with local experts who will help caregivers feel prepared and confident.
Mark your calendars for the largest annual gathering of Korean American women in the United States at our fourth annual Women’s Luncheon in New York City. Join us to celebrate the leadership, philanthropy, and the extraordinary impact of Korean American women across generations.
Women's health doesn't happen in a vacuum. It's shaped by the roles we carry, and for many women, caregiving is one of the biggest. Raising children, supporting aging parents, and holding a family together through hard seasons can quietly take a toll on our bodies, minds, and spirits. This summit is a space to talk honestly about women's health and how the expectations around caregiving affect it. Join AACI and Santa Clara County Supervisor Margaret Abe-Koga as we explore how social and cultural expectations shape women's health across generations and communities, and what we can do about it. Expect honest conversation, shared stories, and practical tools, not just presentations.
