The Asian American Writers’ Workshop is the preeminent national literary arts nonprofit dedicated to the belief that Asian American stories deserve to be told. We’ve garnered coverage from the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Huffington Post, Associated Press, Atlantic, Slate and NPR. Invited to the White House, named one of the top Asian American groups nationally, we seek to invent the future of Asian American intellectual culture. Check us out at http://www.aaww.org. 1. WE CURATE UNFORGETTABLE ART EVENTS. We hold fifty events a year at our Chelsea space. They’re fresh, progressive, funny, interdisciplinary, and community-based. We have curated events with Salman Rushdie, Jhumpa Lahiri, Michael Ondaatje, Zadie Smith, Maxine Hong Kingston, Ha Jin, Das Racist, Eddie Huang, Tea Obreht, Junot Díaz, Roxane Gay, and other writers, activists, and scholars. 2. WE PUBLISH THE ONLINE MAGAZINES THE MARGINS AND OPEN CITY. The Margins magazine (aaww.org) seeks to invent the future of Asian American arts and ideas and imagine ethnic identity as counterculture, both aesthetically and politically. We have published Pulitzer Finalist Chang-rae Lee, National Book Award Finalist Jessica Hagedorn, and MacArthur Genius Vijay Iyer. Open City magazine (opencitymag.com) publishes stories about communities of color, those excluded from traditional power structures, and incubates the underprivileged writers who can write about them. Almost a third of a million readers have read our magazines. 3. WE INCUBATE EMERGING WRITERS OF COLOR. We give out grants to eight emerging Asian American writers a year. We hold open mics, writing workshops, and a big publishing conference. As Pulitzer Prize-winner Jhumpa Lahiri, arguably the most celebrated novelist in America, said at our 2009 PAGE TURNER literary festival: “I felt that AAWW was a secret door that opened and cared about and supported my work as a writer.”
(RED) was created by Bono and Bobby Shriver in 2006 to engage millions of people in the greatest challenge of our time – the fight to end AIDS in Africa where 2/3 of the world’s estimated 37 million people with HIV/AIDS live. We work with the world’s most iconic brands and organizations to develop (RED)-branded products and services, that when purchased, trigger corporate giving to the Global Fund. These contributions are then invested in HIV/AIDS programs in Africa, with a focus on countries with high prevalence of mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

Become an Upstander today. In the bullying scenario there are three roles that play out, the victim, the bully and the bystanders. In 70% of bullying situations there is a third party witness, or bystander, who tacitly condones the harassment of their peers by observing but not speaking up. We believe that bystanders have a responsibility to get involved and stand up for their peers.

CODE PURPLE is a non-profit organization that marries high fashion and international philanthropy. CODE PURPLE brings together world-renowned designers, fashion moguls, celebrities, and models under one banner - protecting innocent people from contracting malaria through fashion. In February 2012, CODE PURPLE debuted their first show, the CODE PURPLE EVENT, to the tune of over 1200 people aboard the USS Intrepid Sea, Air, & Space Museum. Over 50 media outlets were in attendance covering what would become the largest fashion show to close out New York Fashion Week. ING Activewear launched one of the largest initiatives in 2012 to help prevent the millions of children and adults from dying of malaria every year. Supporters play a direct role to raise crucial funds needed to bring help to more than 200 million people affected worldwide by malaria each year. This global initiative is centered on a product called the MOSKEETO ARMOR, designed and developed with revolutionary expertise by design house, ING Activewear. Certified by a Switzerland based third party for up to 50 washes, this life-changing technology repels mosquitos and has initiated an international campaign against malaria. MOSKEETO ARMOR provides protection from mosquitoes and other biting insects that carry known diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, West Nile, and lime disease.
The NYC Feral Cat Initiative (NYCFCI), a program of the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, supports the efforts of organizations and individuals who work to help stray and feral cats — collectively known as "community cats" — and perform Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) in New York City. Our goal is to humanely reduce the population of community cats in NYC.
