Core offering

APPEAL is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit health justice organization that delivers advocacy, policy change, leadership development, and capacity-building programs to address health disparities among Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) communities. It operates flagship networks (CAHPE3 and SPARC), leadership and training programs (APPEAL Leadership Program, ADEPT, LAAMPP), and produces in-language resources focused on commercial tobacco control, healthy eating and active living, and cancer prevention across the United States and six U.S. Associated Pacific Island territories.

Product overview

APPEAL is a national health justice organization that operates as a platform of interconnected programs rather than a single product. The core offerings include CAHPE3 (Center for Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Excellence, Empowerment and Equity) and SPARC (Statewide Pacific Islander Asian American Resource and Coordinating Center) as the two primary flagship programs. Supporting these are leadership development programs (APPEAL Leadership Program, LAAMPP), capacity building initiatives (ADEPT, TAPP INTO), community networks (APPEAL PROMISE Network), and resource libraries including in-language tobacco cessation materials and healthy eating/active living resources. The organization has also operated legacy programs including ASPIRE and EVAC. All programs collectively work toward achieving health equity for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and other underserved communities through policy advocacy, leadership development, capacity building, and community-based research.
