Overview
Founded 17 years ago, the Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN) helps low-income immigrant Asian communities work towards healthier communities. Transportation and land use in California needs to become more sustainable to meet greenhouse gas reduction goals since the transportation sector is responsible for almost 40 percent of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions. Creating the regional plans (Sustainable Communities Strategies) now mandated by law offers a significant opportunity to change the current development trends and impact global warming. APEN will work as part of the Great Communities Collaborative (GCC) coalition to bring its members from Richmond and Oakland in the process. This is vital to demonstrating public support for more environmentally sound decisions. This will advance the Hewlett Foundation's goals of improve transport and open space conditions in underserved Bay Area communities.

Grants to this Grantee
for an individual giving plan
An organizational effectiveness grant to Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN) will help them diversify their revenue stream through the development of an individual donor program. While the organization has a strong fund development strategy with respect to foundations, this grant will allow them to strengthen support from individual donors as well as build capacity within their donor management system. Specifically it will support APEN to hire a consultant who will provide fundraising training to development and executive staff. The funds will also help APEN revise their online donor system and train staff to use it effectively for fundraising purposes.
