The Colorado AAPI Circle Fund is a collective giving circle formed in 2021 that envisions authentic, visible, and interconnected Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi Communities.

The Colorado AAPI Circle Fund was created to fill an important role in the philanthropic and foundation ecosystem within Colorado: to believe in, support, expand, and invest in AAPI-centric initiatives and create civic opportunities for Colorado’s AANHPI individuals wherever they live in The Centennial State.

In addition to traditional grantmaking, in 2024, the Colorado AAPI Circle Fund commissioned the Colorado Lotus Project, a statewide needs assessment designed to better understand the strengths, barriers, and lived experiences of Colorado’s AANHPI communities and to help inform more equitable philanthropic investments in the future. information@denverfoundation. org EIN: 84-6048381 | 501(c)(3) If you are human, leave this field blank.
