We Did It! A Record-Breaking End-of-Year Campaign

What a way to kick off the new year!

We are absolutely thrilled to share that our end-of-year giving campaign wasn't just a success—it was historic. Thanks to your incredible support, we didn't just meet our goals; we smashed through them. We successfully cleared the matching challenge set by our new Executive Director, Paraag Maddiwar, and followed that up by conquering a second challenge goal from the ASIANATI Board of Directors.

Together, we raised nearly $16,000!

Why Your Support Matters

The generosity of our donors is the fuel that allows ASIANATI to celebrate and elevate AAPI voices across the Greater Cincinnati region. Because you showed up for us, we can continue to:

• Celebrate Culture: Create and engage in unique culinary and cultural experiences that bridge communities.
• Elevate Art: Explore and showcase the immense talent of local Asian artists.
• Build Community: Foster deep connections through volunteerism and civic engagement.
• Innovate & Educate: Present world-class theatre and outreach programs that inspire the next generation. Your contributions ensure that Cincinnati remains a place where AAPI students, professionals, and families feel visible, vibrant, and proud to call home.

Our Wall of Honor: Thank You to Our Donors

We are deeply grateful to every individual who contributed to this campaign. Your belief in our mission makes this work possible.
