Asian American Organizing Project is offering up to $10,000 in Civic Engagement and Organizing grant funding for 2019-20. Currently, MN Asians make up 3.1% (125,617) of Minnesota’s Electorate and vote share, however, only 1.9% (61,729) of Asian communities are registered to vote. AAOP is committed on closing the 1.2% voter gap within the next four years by supporting a cohort of Asian organizations and groups who are committed to increasing Asian civic engagement and organizing power in Minnesota. The goals are to increase the number of new voters and voter turnout among Asian communities; bring together communities to promote areas of common interest; help develop capacity and leadership skills to effectively advance the narratives of Asian experiences and issues.
