View this email in your browser Record-Breaking Attendance & Fundraising at the Fourth Annual Gala! Thank you sponsors, guests, leadership, and volunteers for an unforgettable evening of inspiration, celebration, and community-building at the KACF-SF 4th Annual Gala. We raised over $700K for our community and grantee partners and hosted over 500 guests!  The night would not have been possible without your support, generosity, and presence.   We are already hard at work planning for next year.   Save the date for the 5th Annual Gala: May 16th, 2020! See picture from the Gala here.

Since 2014, KACF-SF has awarded over $1.1 Million to nonprofit organizations addressing critical needs of underserved Korean Americans in the areas of health and mental health, senior care and resources, domestic violence, and civic engagement.  We also have a unique community-based participatory grantmaking process where volunteers with diverse personal and professional experiences read grant proposals, conduct site visits, and make funding recommendations to a Board committee. Through this Community Grantmaking Committee (CGC), the Foundation develops a cohort of educated and engaged community volunteers, activists and strategic philanthropists.    Make an impact in addressing the needs of our community.  Join the CGC! To learn more or volunteer, e-mail us at info@kacfsf.org.    Serving Our Senior Community Through Tech Workshops The 2018 Community Conference & Solve-a-thon resulted in a winning idea that brings tech workshops to elders to build skills around technology and increase their engagement with family and the wider community.  The workshops were also used as an opportunity to talk about depression and mental health without fear or stigma. KACF-SF staff and volunteers converged in SF on Saturday, April 13th, at Korean American Senior Services, Inc. (KASSI).  There were 18 trainers and volunteers and over 50 seniors. With lessons learned, we conducted a second workshop at Korean Community Center of the East Bay (KCCEB) on June 5th.  There were 2 trainers, 7 volunteers, and almost 20 seniors packed into a conference space. The feedback we’ve received is that our elders need and want these types of training to learn how to navigate their personal technology and reiterate skills learned.  We hope to support our partners in ongoing efforts to support senior tech workshops! Join Us for Some Summertime Fun at the HANA Picnic Grab a friend and join us for a picnic in the park with HANA on Saturday, July 6th! We will enjoy great views at Holly Park in SF, indulge in Korean BBQ, and partake in games & activities.  Come build community and learn about ways to get more involved with KACF-SF through HANA projects and events.

REGISTER TODAY Join KACF-SF and Our Grantee Partners in Ensuring Everyone Is Counted for 2020 Census   The Census is vital to ensure that our community is accounted for in determination of state and federal funding, apportionment of congressional seats, and decision-making around where new businesses are supported. KACF-SF will be hosting a convening of Korean/Korean American-serving organizations in the Fall of 2019 to further educate, strategize, train, and network regarding the 2020 Census. As our community struggles with how inclusion of the citizenship question and a largely digital effort will impact participation in the 2020 Census, it is even more pivotal to come together as one community.  KACF-SF will assume a convening role and resource efforts to make sure every Korean American is counted in the 2020 Census. For more information and to inquire about a grant application, please contact us at info@kacfsf.org.   The Korean American Community Foundation of San Francisco (KACF-SF) provides grants and capacity-building assistance to community-based organizations serving the needs of vulnerable Korean Americans in the greater Bay Area. Our mission is to build a vibrant, healthy, and empowered Korean American community. KACF-SF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your donations are tax deductible.
