The Asian American Action Fund (AAAFund) is an American Democratic political action committee founded in 1999. AAAFund's goal is to increase the voice of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) in every level of local, state and federal government in the United States. Specifically, AAAFund addresses the under-representation of AAPIs by organizing campaign volunteers, campaign contributions, technical support, and logistics for both endorsed and un-endorsed candidates running for political office. AAAFund has regional chapters in Northern California, Chicago, Northern Virginia/Maryland/District of Columbia, Southern Ohio, Georgia, and New York City as well as a young professional chapter.
AAAFund receives financial support from foundations, corporations, individuals, and fundraisers. AAAF receives no government funds.[1]
