Center for Asian American Media

The San Francisco-based Center for Asian American Media, or CAAM, is dedicated to presenting stories that convey the richness and diversity of Asian American experiences to the broadest audiences possible. CAAM supports the creation of independent media by funding, producing, distributing, and exhibiting works in film, television, and digital media. The organization reaches an in-person audience of 31,000 people each year through its flagship film and culture festival in May, and an additional broadcast audience of 40 million through a partnership with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This grant to CAAM supports the Performing Arts Program’s Communities strategy.
