NGEC Guide on Community Engagement:
Making Social Justice Work Inclusive (2009)
This is an overview and summary of NGEC's Community Engagement Process. In Minnesota, NGEC provided financial support, technical assistance and a joint learning space for 22 local Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) groups. We learned a great deal from this effort, and believe that others aiming to be more inclusive and effective can do so by including community engagement in their planning, implementation, and continuing interpretation of progress as well. This guide attempts to share highlights from our process, tools and methods that others might consider for their community engagement.

This guide is intended as a resource for community-based groups who seek ways to effectively dialogue with the communities they serve.

This guide is designed to accompany the videos produced by NGEC called, "Justice Rising: Sparking Dialogue for Democracy". The intended audiences for the video and this guide are individuals and organizations who are exploring the meaning of social justice in their work. The Justice Rising video offers various definitions and organizational strategies for advancing social justice in communities. It focuses on the importance of giving meaning to social justice as a concept and a framework, and shares tangible examples of how some groups have responded by creating programs and carrying out specific strategies.

Growing Opportunities: Will Funding Follow the Rise in Foundation Assets and Growth of AAPI Populations? (2007)
The giving trends of the top U.S. foundations to Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities has not kept pace with the growth of these communities or of foundation assets, according to a new report released on June 21, 2007 by AAPIP. The report, Growing Opportunities, looks at the country's top 20 national foundations' grantmaking between 1990 and 2002 and finds significant funding disparities to AAPI communities in several areas. The report concludes with a call to action to the philanthropy field to reduce these gaps.
