COVID-19 continues to change how we live and work.  In response to the impact of the coronavirus, we have launched the KACF COVID-19 Community Action Fund to provide immediate and longer-term support to our most vulnerable neighbors.   

In two rounds of grants, we have distributed $160,000 to 13 nonprofit organizations that are providing critical services to low-income Korean/Asian American individuals and families in the following areas:

  • Addresses physical and mental health needs
  • Provides food security 
  • Ensures Korean/Asian American community has access to critical COVID-19 related information in language
  • Provides emergency cash assistance to those individuals and families excluded from federal stimulus package
  • Addresses racism and xenophobia targeting the Asian American community

We are not currently accepting additional applications at this time, but if you have any questions, please contact KACF Program Director Brennan Gang at brennan@kacfny.org.
