The National Gender & Equity Campaign is a demonstration project of Asian Americans/ Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy to build and strengthen the social justice infrastructure of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. We believe that Asian American and Pacific Islander community organizations and grassroots leadership are vital to building a truly inclusive and effective social justice movement.

Created by Asian American women and their communities, the NGEC focuses on building the social justice capacity of grassroots community organizations and mobilizing philanthropic resources for communities to address inequity now and to achieve long-term social change.
