Join AWGC’s First In-Person Celebration in Four Years!

Please join the Asian Women Giving Circle (AWGC) for our first in-person celebration in four years on Wednesday, May 31, 6 – 8:30 pm at the legendary firehouse DCTV (Downtown Community TV Center).

During our upcoming celebration, we are thrilled to pay tribute to the exceptional accomplishments of Min Jin Lee, Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya, and our remarkable grantees for building the future we want to see.

The event will be hosted by the multi-talented Kate Siahaan-Rigg, an esteemed actor, writer, activist, futurist, and comedian, who will guide us through the festivities as our MC. And, adding to the excitement, the evening will feature captivating performances by our current grantees, including the Woori Show and Kinding Sindaw!

AWGC is an all-volunteer grantmaking group of AAPI women who believe in the transformative power of arts, culture, and narrative to build a just and equitable world. All net proceeds will go right out the door in support of AAPI women and gender-expansive artist activists.

We’d love to see you on May 31 for drinks, dumplings, raffle prizes, and more! Bring a friend (or 8)!
