Together with our corporate and nonprofit partners, we are standing up against the racial bias, discrimination, and fear that has plagued our AAPI communities. National ACE is focused on combating the nationwide rise in AAPI bias, harassment, and violence in our small business communities across the country.

The AAPISTRONG Fund has provided over $8M in grants to AAPI small business owners
