On March 26, 2021, KABA-GA launched The National AAPI Violence Prevention & Response Initiative in partnership with the National Compassion Fund, Georgia Asian Pacific American Bar Association (GAPABA), GAPABA Law Foundation, and a group of community leaders.

The initiative will will raise money for victims of the March 16 shootings, other AAPI crime victims, and bias prevention in two first-of-their-kind funds:

• The Atlanta 3/16 Survivors Fund, the first fund in the nation where 100% of funds go to the full victim base.
• The AAPI Crime Victims and Education Fund, the first national fund for AAPI crime victims and educational activities to combat AAPI stereotypes and hate.

Contributions to either are tax-dedutible.

“From this tragedy and the events in the last year, we have a greater calling to create something that will positively impact the community. For individuals and corporations searching for a trustworthy, tax-deductible, and practical way to assist, this is it,” says initiative Co-Chair Sara Hamilton, KABA-GA President.
