#GiveInMay to CAPAL

Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month! #GiveInMay and celebrate with us by supporting our Public Service Scholarship & Internship Program, and helping us reach our $5,000 goal! Your support will make a direct impact on our mission.

With almost 25.6 million Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) in the U.S., we’re underrepresented in politics by 85%, and make up only 6.4% of the federal workforce – with less than 4% of us serving as senior executives in this field. For the past 33 years, CAPAL has worked to change this by building a strong public service pipeline for AANHPI students.

Since our founding in 1989, we’ve continued to increase access to public service opportunities to more than 600 students through our annual programs:

1. Public Service Scholarship & Internship program,
2. Six-week Washington Leadership Program speaker seminar series,
3. Professional development workshops,
4. Career roundtable series,
5. One-on-one matched mentorship program,

And more -- because we envision a future with equitable AANHPI representation throughout all levels of government and public service.

Adhering to the commitment of providing increased AANHPI representation in the political arena, CAPAL has proudly sponsored over $200,000 in scholarships in 2024 to fund students to jumpstart careers in public service.

Join us in paving the way for tomorrow's AANHPI leaders and building a brighter, more equitable future. Your one-time or monthly donation can make a world of difference. Together, we can surpass our $5,000 goal and provide direct support to our future internship participants to empower the next generation of AANHPI leaders in public service.
