This month we’re recognizing ’s milestone in securing its first-ever permanent home in Chinatown. This project was funded by a grant from San Francisco’s API Equity Fund, a $30 million community development program formed after advocacy from API Council. The API Equity Fund’s goal is to protect and preserve the work of our community organizations that provide critical services like food security, workforce development, citizenship and immigration assistance, early childhood development, elder care services, community development, and more.

Today, the API Council hosted our annual holiday luncheon for our Executive Directors, graciously co-sponsored by David Lei and Buck Gee. This gathering was a celebration of the many achievements and hard work of our member organizations over the past year. The event was a testament to the spirit of collaboration and the Council’s dedication to our communities.

Yesterday, we had a town hall co-hosted by the API Council and OCEIA, featuring Deputy Assistant Secretary Camille Dawson from the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs. We were joined by SF Assessor - Recorder Joaquín Torres as well as SF City Administrator Carmen Chu.

This occurred while world leaders, dignitaries, and businesses are historically gathering in San Francisco for APEC.

Happy Diwali! The API Council wishes joy and light to all celebrating this special festival. Let's cherish unity and compassion as we embrace the true spirit of Diwali. May prosperity and happiness light up your lives.
