The Board of Directors and staff of the Paul M. Angell Family Foundation join many others in condemning attacks on our Asian American and Pacific Islander community members, including last week’s tragic mass murder of eight innocent people in Atlanta, six of whom were Asian women. Our hearts go out to the victims’ families as well as to the entire Asian-American community. We are reminded once again that white supremacy and hateful rhetoric have devastating, and, too often, fatal consequences.

 

The drastic increase in harassment and attacks against Asian Americans over the past year shows us how quickly hatred and intolerance can spread when amplified by people in some of the most powerful positions in our country—and when perpetrators are not held accountable for their actions. Words of support are not enough. We all must do our part and act. We are grateful to the many organizations working to dismantle racism and white supremacy and who are sharing their resources and expertise. Please check out some resources compiled by Asian American/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP) and show up however you can:

The Board of Directors of the Paul M. Angell Family Foundation is pleased to announce it has approved over $12.2M for new and renewed grants in the Fall 2020 grant cycle. Congratulations to all of our grantee partners!

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Like all of you, our hearts ache. The murder of Mr. George Floyd is unbearable and intolerable. Of course, we know all too well that this is not an isolated tragedy. Racism has been deeply embedded in our nation’s systems and institutions for hundreds of years and it won’t be rooted out quickly. But such horrors must end.

We shouldn’t be horrified only by the most violent, graphic incidents of injustices perpetrated against African Americans. Our society should be equally compelled to action by the everyday effects of racism on African Americans and other people of color. We at the foundation don’t pretend to have all the answers. But we do know that the fight for racial and economic equity and justice must continue. Your advocacy, your efforts to change systems and institutions, and your commitment to empowering the families and communities with whom you work are more vital now than ever. Thank you for your commitment and perseverance. We are honored to stand with you.

This moment should give us all pause, particularly those of us in philanthropy. The foundation is committed to examining our own practices and grantmaking to do more to dismantle racism and oppression. We recognize it is incumbent upon us to listen, reflect, and act on what we can do better, but we welcome your engagement and expertise. This is long-term work not served well by short-term funding. We look forward to connecting with you in the days, weeks, and months ahead. In the meantime, know that we are deeply grateful for all you do.

In solidarity,

Charles Angell, Jim Angell, Mike Angell, Rupal Soni, Kim Van Horn, Wendy Vendel, Audra Yokley
