AAPI United

It’s always meaningful to see organizations like Asian Americans Advancing Justice continuing to lead the way in advancing justice and equity for the AAPI community. Over the past year, we’ve had the opportunity to work alongside AAAJ as a trusted referral partner, supporting individuals and families when it matters most.

We’re proud of that partnership and look forward to continuing our collaboration to strengthen and uplift the AAPI community across Los Angeles and Orange County.

A special thank you to Bonnie Fong and Christine McMillan, two outstanding AAAJ attorneys who stood alongside James Mai at a local event. Your advocacy, compassion, and commitment to justice make a real difference in people’s lives every day 🙏🏼

JANM is honored to announce that it has received a $20 million gift from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. This transformative gift is the largest single gift in JANM’s history and, like her donation of $10 million in 2021, is unrestricted, allowing the Museum to determine the best use of the funds at a pivotal moment for its future.

“We are extraordinarily grateful to MacKenzie Scott for her historic vision and generosity. This remarkable gift comes as JANM is poised for a new and exciting future. We enter the new year with a reinvigorated commitment to our mission, stronger-than-ever support from the community, and great anticipation for a transformed Museum experience when we reopen in 2026. Her first gift of $10 million made it possible for JANM to expand our programming as well as to serve our community and reach new people throughout our current renovation. A validation of the importance of our mission and the impact of our programming, this new gift brings a unique opportunity for JANM to invest in its future, to attain a new level of financial stability, and to lean into its legacy as a keeper of history and a beacon of democracy and social justice,” said Ann Burroughs, JANM President and CEO.
