Creating programs across our core partners is a key part of our work promoting effective intersectional approaches to grantmaking, as well as developing cross-sector partnerships with philanthropic infrastructure allies. We are committed to initiating and coordinating lectures, panel discussions, trainings, and other types of events that are jointly facilitated by our core partners.

Below are a few samples of our collaborative successes to date.

• In 2014, AAPIP and funders for LGBTQ issues jointly developed Philanthropic OUTlook: LBGTQ Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities infographic as well as the webinar “Black Out”Understanding LGBTQ Advocacy and Black Communities.”

• In 2012, “Looking Back, Moving Forward,” was presented and designed jointly by AAPIP and ABFE and focused on issues such as racial division, healing, and—ultimately—the human condition. On the 20th anniversary of the Los Angeles riots, actor-playwright Anna Deavere Smith gave a moving performance from her one-woman play Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992.

• In 2010, NAP and AAPIP hosted a joint site tour to Camp Amache Japanese Interment site and Cheyenne-Arapahoe Massacre site. The event focused on the short- and long-term impact of historical trauma. Over 50 philanthropic and nonprofit professionals toured over two days with internees and descendants of internees and massacre survivors. It was the first event of its kind and continues to be shared within the philanthropic community,

• The Patiño Moore Legacy Award is an awards-program partnership between HIP and ABFE that recognizes organizations whose work fosters collaboration between Latino and African-American communities to effect positive, sustainable change for all of America’s families. The award is named after Dr. Douglas Patiño and Wenda Weekes Moore, both independent leaders in the fields of higher education and philanthropy, for their ongoing legacy of working together to improve relations between black and brown communities.
