Direct peers

• Japanese American Citizens League (JACL): National AAPI civil rights organization founded in 1929, focused on civil rights, immigration, and discrimination. Comparable AAPI advocacy nonprofit with longer history but similar grassroots-and-policy operating model.
• The Asian American Foundation (TAAF): AAPI-focused philanthropic foundation that has funded NAPAWF's 'State of Safety' study. Comparable as a major AAPI mission-aligned funder/advocate working on anti-discrimination and AAPI prosperity, with overlapping issue scope.
• National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice: Reproductive justice advocacy organization for Latina women. Long-standing coalition partner with NAPAWF in the 'Intersections of Our Lives' coalition; comparable structure as a small-staff, member-driven, identity-specific policy advocacy nonprofit.
• National Women's Law Center: National advocacy organization focused on women's rights, including economic justice, reproductive rights, and racial justice. Direct peer because NAPAWF explicitly partners with NWLC on AANHPI equal pay advocacy, operating in overlapping issue areas and serving as a force-multiplier for NAPAWF's work.
• Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF): Health-focused AAPI advocacy and policy organization with research, capacity-building, and policy advocacy work. Comparable as an AAPI nonprofit doing research and policy advocacy, with adjacent rather than identical issue focus (health rather than multi-issue women-centered).
• South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT): National advocacy organization for South Asian Americans focused on racial justice, immigrant rights, and civic participation. Comparable mission, structure, and constituency overlap with NAPAWF's AAPI women focus.
• Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC: National AAPI civil rights organization focused on policy advocacy, legal action, and civic engagement. Comparable as a national AAPI-focused advocacy nonprofit serving a similar constituency on civil rights and immigration, with overlapping policy priorities.
• In Our Own Voice: National Black Women's Reproductive Justice Agenda: Reproductive justice policy and advocacy organization for Black women. Third partner in the 'Intersections of Our Lives' coalition with NAPAWF, sharing mission alignment, structure, and approach to combining research, policy, and community organizing.

Broad incumbents

• Center for American Progress (women's initiatives): Large progressive think tank with substantial work on women's rights, reproductive justice, and racial justice policy. Comparable as an advocacy research/policy organization in overlapping issue spaces, but much larger and broader in scope than NAPAWF.
