Thank you for joining us for an incredible evening celebrating the Power of Jeong(정)!

The joy and energy emanating from a sold-out room of over 750 guests were nothing short of exhilarating. As we came together, we felt a profound sense of connection strengthened by our shared commitment to lifting up our our community.

Together, we raised over $2.6 million! Thank you for your generous support.

To date, KACF has awarded $14 million in grants and we aim to double that amount in the next five years. After over two decades of intentional investment in the greater New York area, we are expanding our reach and impact nationwide, advancing a national philanthropic movement by and for our community to build a future in which all Korean Americans can thrive.
