The New York Women's Foundation

As Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month draws to a close, The New York Women’s Foundation continues to celebrate the leadership, resilience, and impact of AAPI communities across New York City.

We are honored to stand alongside partners including Laal NYC, Mekong NYC, Red Canary Song, and The WOW Project whose work continues to support AAPI New Yorkers, providing direct services, enabling mutual aid, and creating a safety net for immigrant workers rooted in community power.

As early believers and lasting funders, we remain committed to investing in organizations creating more inclusive futures for women, gender-expansive people and their families.

What stayed with us. 💙 At the 2026 Celebrating Women® Breakfast, we saw what it looks like when a community comes together with purpose, urgency, and care for one another.

The conversations, stories, and energy throughout the morning were a reminder that lasting change is built by people willing to continue showing up, speaking out, and standing together.

Still thinking about that morning.⭐

The energy, the conversations, and the sense of community at the 2026 Celebrating Women® Breakfast stayed with us long after the program ended.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared space, and helped make this year’s Breakfast so powerful. See the highlights at https://bit.ly/4dDQKwn

Shaping conversations, challenging systems, building community, and expanding what leadership can look like for women and gender-expansive people. 🌟 That is the impact our 2026 Celebrating Women® Breakfast honorees continue to make through civic engagement, philanthropy, organizing, and public leadership.

We were honored to celebrate Valerie Jarrett of the Obama Foundation, Jeannie Park of the Korean American Community Foundation, Leah Greenberg of Indivisible, and the National Philanthropic Collaborative of Young Women’s Initiatives.

Their leadership reminds us that lasting change is built by people willing to keep showing up, speaking out, and standing together.
