2025 New Member Challenge:
20 New Members by April 6th

At Asian Giving Circle (AGC)’s 2025 Annual Meeting, a long-time AGC member offered a challenge for us: if we’re able to get 20 brand-new AGC members in the next month, this member will generously match their contributions with a $5,000 donation. 

Help us meet this challenge and get our match! As a member, you’ll make a $250 donation that supports our annual grantmaking. By pooling the contributions of all of our members, we are able to make the greatest collective impact. 100% of your donation goes to support nonprofits doing great work in the Chicago region’s AAPI community.

Become an AGC member by making a $250 annual contribution here.
