Corporate Engagement Manager

About the Organization

TAAF serves the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community by promoting safety, fostering belonging, and advancing prosperity. Launched in 2021 in response to the rise in anti-Asian hate and to address the long-standing underinvestment in AAPI communities by building safety and economic prosperity in cities, advocating for the teaching of AAPI history in classrooms, advancing decision makers and creatives in Hollywood and journalism, ensuring that we are represented across all levels of leadership, and conducting research to inform our communities. Through groundbreaking programs, essential research, and cross-sector partnerships, we’re creating a permanent and irrevocable sense of belonging for millions of AAPIs in the United States.
