AAPI Civic Engagement Fund

Parent Organization

The AAPI Civic Engagement Fund understands there is a longstanding need for AAPIs -- as a community of color and predominantly immigrant and refugee population -- to become informed, activated, and engaged, particularly in the area of civic participation. Yet, AAPI voter registration and turnout rates have historically been disproportionately low. The Fund fosters a culture of civic participation within AAPI communities by supporting the growth of AAPI groups as organizational movement and power building leaders that achieve specific policy, systems, and transformational change.

The Center for Neighborhood Knowledge (formerly the Center for the Study of Inequality) conducts basic and applied research on the socioeconomic formation and internal dynamics of neighborhoods. We work with a broad set of data and employ a range of analytical skills to examine neighborhood phenomena across time and space. Many of our reports and findings are available on the publications section of the CNK website and it is our hope that they might act as tools for community members, leaders, and organizations to inform and empower. As a land grant institution, the Center for Neighborhood Knowledge acknowledges the Gabrielino and Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (Los Angeles basin, Southern Channel Islands), and that their displacement has enabled the flourishing of UCLA.
