Community has stories to tell. 

NQAPIA has been building community for 21 years. While our current staff has been here for, at most, two years, we know that the essence of NQAPIA lives in the stories, memories, relationships, and impact built over the last two decades.

We want to know yours.

What does NQAPIA mean to you? What’s a memory that has stayed with you? How has this community shaped you, your work, or your life?

Share your NQAPIA story with us by submitting a testimonial through the link in our bio. Your story is part of our story, and we’d be honored to receive it!

What to expect:

-Updates from our Executive Director and Board
-An honest look at our current work and priorities
-Open Q&A — bring your questions

We asked for help and you answered our call! Within the first few days of the launch of All In For NQAPIA, we have received over $8,000 in donations! Thank you to all our supporters who contributed to our campaign and have shared out our ask.

Will you help us get to $10,000 by the end of the weekend?

Over the last two years, NQAPIA has put in the work to rebuild our programs, relationships, and impact. We want to take a moment to share what it has looked like when community shows up. Beyond the data points, community members that have been around for months or decades, have learned with us, struggled with us, and celebrated with us. Being in community with one another isn't always easy, but it is always necessary.

Here is but a glimpse of what we, and you all, have been up to. If you, your organization, or your community has been impacted for the better by engaging with NQAPIA, we would love for you to share your story with us.

If you have the capacity to provide a testimonial, give, share, sign onto our letter of support, or volunteer to reach out to our donors to help us bridge this moment, we need you now. Our link to get involved is in our Linktree in our bio. Thank you for your support - there's still more work to be done.

Hear directly from our Executive Director, Kat Evasco.

Thank you to those who have already responded to our call for help yesterday. In our first day of our ALL IN FOR NQAPIA campaign, we’ve reach 5% of our goal! Thank you for your donations and thank you for helping spread the word.

More than ever before, NQAPIA needs your support. The situation we are facing is not unique to our organization, as we experience and witness funding opportunities declining and further restrictions on LGBTQ+ funding. What is unique to NQAPIA is the strength of our community and national network of grassroots organizations. Our abundance lies in our community.

If you have capacity to give, share, sign onto our letter of support, or volunteer to reach out to our donors to help us bridge this moment, we need you now. Our donation link is in our Linktree in our bio. Thank you for your support!

Organizing doesn’t begin and end with a single rally. It’s about building relationships, creating community, and sustaining the work long after the moment has passed.

Join us for Build it and They Will Come, a virtual training with Jakey Sala Siolo (he/they), where we’ll explore how LGBTQ+ AANHPI communities can organize with intention, center collective care, and turn moments of action into lasting community power.

Together, we’ll cover:
✨ Community-centered direct action strategies
✨ Safety, accessibility, and cultural responsiveness
✨ Volunteer recruitment and leadership development
✨ Building sustainable advocacy beyond a single campaign

Whether you’re new to organizing or looking to strengthen your community’s work, you’ll leave with practical tools to mobilize, build relationships, and create lasting change.
