Overview

Mission

The Institute was formed for the purpose of raising funds to educate local Asian Pacific Islander elected officials and legislative staff to prepare them for higher positions. All expenses include lodging, meals, travel and materials.

What it reported doing in 2024

Welcoming the 7th Cohort of the Staff Academy: This year, we successfully welcomed the 7th cohort of the Staff Academy, which included 13 staffers from the legislature and administration. Since its inception, the program has grown to a total of 89 alumni. The seven-month program continues to offer valuable development opportunities for API policy staff, featuring a range of inspiring speakers dedicated to fostering both professional and personal growth.

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 95% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
