Korean American Community Foundation invites applications for Community Grants program

The Korean American Community Foundation (KACF) invests in programs that strengthen the economic security of low-income Korean Americans. KACF defines economic security as having the resources to realize the full economic potential of individuals and families through educational attainment, meaningful employment, financial education, public benefits, access to affordable housing and home ownership, and other pathways to immediate and long-term economic stability.

KACF has announced the launch of its newly unified and streamlined Community Grants program to strengthen Korean American communities across the United States. Nonprofit organizations helping low-income Korean Americans—either as a primary focus or as part of the broader populations they serve—to increase their economic security are invited to apply.

This is a multi-year grant for three years with the maximum annual grant amount of $100,000. KACF provides general operating and program-specific support. General operating grants are only available to organizations with a budget of $3 million or less.

KACF will only consider organizations that are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization or have a fiscal sponsor that is a 501(c)(3); have an operational history of at least six months; have an established and working board of directors; and have filed IRS Form 990 and/or audited financials.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Korean American Community Foundation website.

Deadline: August 29, 2025
