Inspiring Civic Engagement and Advancing Civil Rights

The South Asian Impact Foundation fosters a culture of civic engagement among South Asian Americans, uniting the diaspora as a force of change to create a more inclusive Democracy and to champion policies that will uplift all historically marginalized communities in the United States. We build community and coalitions, engage South Asians in our nation’s civic process, and ensure our diaspora's history and lived experience is recognized as essential to the fabric of America.
