AAPI Victory Fund

What AAPI Victory Fund does

AAPI Victory Fund is a US-based political action committee (PAC) founded in 2013 with the mission of increasing Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) representation in elected offices and supporting progressive candidates. The organization serves the approximately 24 million-strong AANHPI community in the United States through voter mobilization, candidate endorsements, and political advocacy, and positions itself as the only national PAC with this explicit electoral representation mandate. Its headquarters are at 122 C Street NW, Suite 360, Washington, DC. Revenue is generated entirely through political contributions from individual donors, processed via the ActBlue online donation platform.

Beyond electoral activity, AAPI Victory Fund expanded in 2022 by establishing the AAPI Next Generation Leadership Institute, a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm focused on leadership training, mentorship, and combating anti-Asian hate. The 501(c)(3) arm is fiscally sponsored by the Amalgamated Charitable Foundation, which enables donor-advised fund contributions, stock transfers, and other tax-deductible giving vehicles. Together, the core PAC and the leadership institute form a two-pronged structure combining short-term electoral action with long-term civic leadership development.

The organization has no proprietary technology platform; its digital infrastructure consists of a Squarespace-hosted website, email newsletter signup, social media presence, and integration with ActBlue for donation processing. No AI/ML capabilities, patents, certifications, or disclosed headcount are present. The organization operates exclusively in the United States and has no parent company, institutional investors, or disclosed revenue figures.
