The Minnesota Council of Nonprofits, in partnership with the Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy Minnesota Chapter (AAPIP-MN), published the Asian Pacific Islander Nonprofit Economy Report in 2006 as an overview of nonprofit organizations led by and serving Minnesota's Asian Pacific Islander (API) communities. The report highlights the number, size, geographic area served, types of services, and funding sources of API nonprofits.
Executive Summary
Overall, this report suggests that more can be done to better understand the contributions made by API nonprofits within API communities and the community-at-large and to address their concerns in managing and strengthening their organizations to serve APIs, especially their financial situations. As a result of the report findings, the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits and Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy Minnesota Chapter (AAPIP-MN) are making 13 recommendations in three areas: board and executive leadership, relationships among organizations, and philanthropy.
