Founded in 2002, the Korean American Community Foundation (KACF) funds community-based non-profit organizations working to improve lives and transform communities in the Korean and Asian American communities in the greater New York area. The Korean American Community Foundation transforms and empowers communities through philanthropy, volunteerism and inter-community bridge building. KACF pursues these goals through grantmaking that promotes self-sufficiency for the underserved and under-resourced, through raising awareness of needs and issues, and by fostering a culture of giving.
