Mission:
To foster economic empowerment through education and business development by removing barriers and providing resources and training for entrepreneurs and professionals across communities, including those with roots in Asian heritage.
Our Commitment:
Guided by the experiences of the Asian American and Pacific Islander business community, the APACC Foundation supports entrepreneurs and professionals through culturally responsive programs and partnerships. While our work serves communities of all backgrounds, we are inspired by a legacy of resilience, shared opportunity, and a belief in equitable access to resources that empower growth.
Who We Are:
Established in 2024, the APACC Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created to expand the impact of the Asian Pacific American Chamber of Commerce (APACC). Headquartered in Southeast Michigan, the Foundation delivers charitable programming, educational resources, and training that promote long-term economic opportunity for entrepreneurs, professionals, and small business owners across Michigan’s diverse communities.
What We Do:

Through strategic programs, culturally informed support, and collaborative partnerships, we equip individuals with the tools they need to grow, lead, and contribute to economic resilience in their communities.
Why It Matters:
