Private Sector Employees: Matching Gifts
Many companies offer a “matching gift” benefit to their employees to encourage charitable giving. Sometimes the gifts of retirees, members of the board of directors, and spouses are also eligible. Some companies without formal programs will match your gift, if you ask. Please check with your benefits manager.

To submit a matching gift to APIA Scholars, please request a matching gift application from your benefits manager or Human Resources office. Policies may vary and certain restrictions can apply. Some gift applications are web-based or can be completed via automated phone applications. Paper applications may be sent, along with your gift, to:

APIA Scholars
1850 M St. NW, Suite 245
Washington, D.C. 20036

Once APIA Scholars receives your information, we will verify your gift and complete the process. Your employer will then send an additional gift to APIA Scholars on your behalf.

Create a Scholarship Program

APIA Scholar welcomes corporations, foundations, community groups, and individuals who would like to make an investment in tomorrow’s future by creating a scholarship program with APIA Scholars. With the Asian and Pacific Islander American (APIA) populations predicted to reach 41 million by 2050 according to the U.S. Census, the APIA community as a source for future leaders who will excel in their career and serve as role models in their communities cannot be ignored.

Sponsor an Event/Program

Jump Start College Tour
The Jump Start College Tour was developed in partnership with Wells Fargo to provide college planning, leadership training, financial education, and professional development tools and resources to students and their families. Hosted four times each year at Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), this day-long program partners with local college campuses to provide underserved APIA communities with important information to increase access to higher education.

What is a donor-advised fund?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your favorite charities. An increasingly popular charitable vehicle, DAFs are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals.

How does it work?

Establish your DAF by making an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program
Advise the investment allocation of the donated assets (any investment growth is tax-free)
Recommend grants to qualified public charities of your choice
