Focused on the needs that matter most
We work alongside local communities to respond to emergencies and build lasting opportunity.
Emergency Relief
Rapid response and food aid for communities hit by disaster, economic hardship, or crisis — including COVID-19 relief for low-income families.
Children's Education & Rights
Supporting access to education and protecting the rights of children in vulnerable communities.
Women's Empowerment
Backing participatory, locally-led initiatives that build self-reliance for women and marginalized groups.
Grassroots action, driven from the U.S.
Asian Resource Foundation USA is an independent U.S. nonprofit working to meet the needs of vulnerable communities — particularly children's education, child rights, women's empowerment and youth leadership. We mobilize people and resources here in the U.S. and direct them where they are needed most.
