Established in 1989, the Asian American Federation (AAF) is the strongest leadership organization in New York serving 1.5 million Asian New Yorkers. Our mission is to raise the influence and well-being of the pan-Asian American community through research, policy advocacy, public awareness, and nonprofit support. We do this work in partnership with 70 member agencies that are deeply rooted in our communities and provide social services to those in need. Asians are the fastest growing community in our City and State, and we advocate to ensure that our community is visible, our voices are heard, and our stories are told. We offer programs focused on community safety, mental health, economic empowerment, immigrant integration, and civic engagement to help connect Asian New Yorkers with the resources they need.
