We work in deep and transformative partnerships towards a hopeful future and dignified presence for all. false false 862540 Voter Education and Mobilization Campaign: AAAF ran a robust, nonpartisan voter education and mobilization campaign targeting Asian American communities across Georgia. The campaign prioritized in-language outreach and reducing barriers to civic participation. Through this effort, we: Delivered over 364,000 pieces of mail to more than 80,000 households, attempted to reach over 10,000 voters through canvassing, resulting in 1,051 conversations at the doors, and attempted over 378,000 calls, with more than 10,000 phone conversations with voters. These efforts helped ensure that voters had access to timely, culturally relevant election information and encouraged increased turnout across the state. 57605 Transit Referenda Campaign Gwinnett and Cobb Counties: AAAF led a diverse, multicultural coalition in support of the 2024 SPLOST transit referenda in Gwinnett and Cobb counties. The coalition included Georgia Conservation Voters, Southern Environmental Law Center, CASA, Georgia Youth Justice Coalition, GALEO, Working Families Party, and Cobb for Transit. Together, we executed a bilingual, multimedia campaign to reach voters through: 5 million impressions via social media outreach, 200,000 pieces of direct mail, 165,000 doors knocked, and 400,000 voters contacted by phone. Ultimately, the referenda did not pass, but we helped to educate our communities about the importance of investing in public transit services. 24813 Metro Atlanta Changemakers Fellowship Program (MAC): The Metro Atlanta Changemakers (MAC) Fellowship empowers emerging Asian American leaders to design and implement community projects focused on racial justice, immigrant rights, and economic equity. In 2024, fellows launched initiatives such as educational workshops on anti-Asian racism, cultural events celebrating AAPI identity, public discussions on senior healthcare, political education gatherings on banned books, and canvassing campaigns for public transit access. These creative, grassroots projects deepened civic engagement and sparked meaningful dialogue within the community. 1370836 2315794 false false true true false false false false false true false false true true false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 30 0 true 72 true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true true false GA X Ashna Khanna 4044875253 PO Box 671 Norcross GA 30091 Aisha Yaqoob Executive Director 36.00 4.00 X 120378 0 13075 Ashna Khanna Deputy Director 36.00 4.00 X 113750 0 8969 Andrew Leba Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Wang Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Aamir Kazi Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christie Sithiphone Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Grace Yu Secretary 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Aklima Khondoker Chairman 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Shahrukh Arif Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 234128 0 22044 4 false false false Apollo Messaging Team LLC 7198 Neills Branch Drive Chattanooga TN 37406 DigitalAdvertising 715932 Sole Strategies 532 5th St Boulder City NV 89005 Canvassing 105900 4 3494456 3494456 0 3494456 0 0 0 X 100087 100087 234109 122406 107025 4678 1159049 606138 530324 22587 119593 72821 43914 2858 110824 63803 44593 2428 40833 40833 68768 68768 103747 45671 56417 1659 400000 400000 1113 1113 483 483 72460 38684 32328 1448 9000 303 8697 39952 31502 8450 5923 5923 6668 6668 Staff Development 78346 32925 44196 1225 Outreach 11150 11150 901650 801454 100196 3463755 2315794 1111078 36883 452662 964489 1072728 612500 29617 18187 17353 11430 160823 101447 1703566 1689866 8908 25159 165527 104875 174435 130034 X 606903 947332 922228 612500 1529131 1559832 1703566 1689866 30701 0 X false true X true false 107295 100 7295 100000 107295 false Asian American Advocacy Fund IC PO Box 671 Norcross GA 30091 844943163 100000 true false false 29617 18187 11430 11430 Right-of-use of asset 99432 Due from related party 2015 101447 Lease liability 64956 Lease liability current portion 39919 104875 3494456 3494456 3494456 3463755 3463755 3463755 true Asian American Advocacy Fund IC 5151 Brook Hollow Parkway Ste 250 Norcross GA 30071 844943163 IRC Sec 527 100000 FMV Independent Expenditures Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11a: A copy of the completed Form 990 was provided to the governing body before filing this return.
