Dear advocate,

During the last 50 years, OCA - Asian Pacific American Advocates has served as a leader in advancing the hopes and aspirations of Asian American, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders in the United States. Your support has made our first 50 years incredibly impactful and we thank you for your part in these accomplishments.

We have been at the table with Presidents,  Cabinet
Members, Legislators, and other policy makers as we leaned into issues to protect our civil rights, our communities, and our future.

More specifically, we have:
  • helped secure permanent funding for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander serving institutions of higher learning;
  • continued to support the inclusion of our stories in the curriculum taught to our youth;
  • pushed back against xenophobic and anti-Asian hate in our schools, workplaces, and society; and
  • continued to advocate for our place as voters and Americans;
  • and perhaps most importantly, continued to identify and develop our AANHPI leaders of today and tomorrow.
With your help, we can now look forward to our next 50 years.

Our Annual Giving Campaign for our 50th anniversary features a new focus on 3 areas:
  • Developing the Next Generation of Leaders;
  • Increasing the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Impact Nationally; and
  • Strengthening our Capacity at the National and Chapter levels.
As you can tell, our work is far from over. We need your help to continue building OCA’s legacy for the next 50 years and beyond. This is a golden opportunity to make a difference. A generous individual has offered to match every dollar we raise up to $50,000. That means your donation will have twice the impact!

If you wish to be a partner in this work to make a difference in our communities across the country, your support would be greatly appreciated.

As always, you can make a donation via check or credit card. Please visit the donation page for more information.

OCA also now has the ability to take stock assets as donations. If desired, you can use charitable contributions to the OCA and reduce your capital gains tax liability by donating long-term appreciated assets. (Please consult with your tax advisor for suitability of such donations.) Please visit our stock donation portal for more information. Please note, stock transfers will take approximately 2 weeks to complete.

Thank you so much for your support!


With gratitude, 
Eric Lin
