Korean American Foundation
About Korean American Foundation
We as Korean Americans living in this great nation, have been enormously blessed. Because of our core values and principles, we desire to give back to our community to help the most vulnerable and marginalized members of our society. While our philanthropic interest is inclusive of all peoples, we have a particular interest in the welfare of the Korean American community. In response to this need, we have formed the Korean American Foundation (“KAF”) to be the trusted steward of charitable funds for our community. KAF was incorporated in October 2018.
Our mission is to (i) improve the lives of the most vulnerable and marginalized members of our community with a particular focus on Korean Americans, (ii) promote philanthropy and be an effective and diligent steward of charitable funds, and (iii) collaborate with community-based organizations (“CBOs”) to build their capacity to increase their effectiveness and ensure their sustainability.
Our vision is to see a Korean American community that is engaged in a culture of giving that draws on rich philanthropic traditions from both Korean and American roots to uplift the vulnerable and make lasting generational impact.
