Grant Description
Grants of $1,500 to USA Native Hawaiian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander individuals to support a project or a mission that will be completed within the calendar year. Funding is intended to support creatives such as artists, content creators, small business owners, and others to amplify their voices and reach.

The Very Asian Foundation's (VAF) mission is to shine a light on Asian experiences through advocacy and celebration. VAF is a non-profit created from a viral, global moment of unity and is compelled to lift the human experience. This award provides a mini-grant to creatives (e.g.: actors, artists, authors, bakers, chefs, content creators, podcasters, small business owners, etc.) to help amplify their voices and reach.

Program Goals:
  • Creators feel pride and value in building and amplifying AA and NHPI experiences through their craft.
  • Creators have a mission or project that the mini-grant can help complete or fulfill in 2025.
  • Grant recipient alumni can help amplify the VAF Creators Fund for future recipients.
  • VAF Creator Community development for connections and networking with mentorship opportunities.
