Founded in 1998, Project by Project (PbP) is a 100% volunteer-based grassroots leadership development incubator aimed at building a pipeline of Asian Americans in philanthropy. Through innovative platforms for hands-on and skills based volunteering, PbP fosters AAPI civic engagement and advocacy by leveraging our volunteers to serve local nonprofits in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. 

Each year, PbP selects a national campaign to champion. We select a local AAPI nonprofit partner to develop a year long campaign in three areas. In doing so, we develop leadership skills for our (200+ member) Steering Committee while raising awareness and funds for local AAPI nonprofits. This year's theme is Education Access and our beneficiary partner is Hope Community Services. 

Plate by Plate is the our annual signature event. It is the AAPI community’s oldest and largest annual tasting benefit. We bring together 30+ food and beverage vendors for a black tie tasting gala each year to fundraise for our partners. We’ve helped spotlight up and coming AAPI and minority owned businesses in the hospitality industry. We anticipate 800 attendees with even more exposure on our social media.
