We did it! This Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we raised $25,214 thanks to 68 generous donors, including 25 new or upgraded recurring donors! Thank you all for your support of Kundiman's work. The funds will ensure that Kundiman can provide a space of care and nurturance for Asian American writers year-round.

As Julie Ae Kim, co-founder of the Asian American Feminist Collective, writes, “When people show up for each other and build trust, we disrupt that pattern [of individual invisibility]. The only way we will get through this is to cultivate care.”

We are grateful for everyone who has donated throughout this campaign. Your care for this community is truly essential to our work. Thank you for being a part of this chorus of voices that work to transform the literary landscape—and the world.

We're so glad that you've chosen to celebrate this Asian Pacific American Heritage Month with Kundiman. We look forward to seeing you online or in-person soon!
