Overview
Mission
To provide college students and recent graduates who are dedicated to public service a substantive work and educational experience in the California State Legislature, with a goal towards growing the pipeline of AANHPI and SWANA Capitol staffers and advocates.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Asian Pacific Islander Capitol Association (APICA) is a non-partisan, non-profit organization of legislative staffers, advocates, and other professionals based in the State Capitol of Sacramento, California. APICA is dedicated to ensuring the success of AANHPI and SWANA identifying members in the Capitol Community. One of APICAs top accomplishments from 2025 is our paid summer fellowship program, which provides college students and recent graduates an opportunity to gain meaningful work experience in the California State Legislature. In collaboration with the California Asian American Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus (AAPILC), APICA hosted six fellows during the summer of 2025. Fellows participated in a 10 week program where they were placed in a legislative office for 32 hours per week. During the fellowship, APICA also provided the fellows with a week-long orientation, professional and skill development sessions, dedicated mentorship, and connection with a network of staff, advocates, and elected officials. Since its inception, the internship program has hosted over 50 interns. APICA also hosts an annual fundraiser event Sushi Showdown, where the proceeds support the diverse programming and summer fellowship program of the next year. For the 2025 Sushi Showdown, APICA secured over $100,000 of pledged donations from various corporations, lobbying firms, advocacy organizations, nonprofits, and individual donors. In 2025, APICA also hosted a variety of social and professional development events for our general membership and the broader Capitol community, including lunch-and-learn events with elected officials, policy briefings, workshops on legislative processes, networking receptions, financial literacy briefings, and more
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
