Strong, connected communities are built through leadership, opportunity, and representation. Celebrating diverse voices and investing in community-led initiatives helps create a more inclusive future where everyone has the chance to thrive.

The Boston Foundation works to strengthen and uplift Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities across Massachusetts. Through philanthropy, partnerships, and community investments, the organization supports programs that advance leadership, equity, and long-term impact. To continue this important mission, the organization is hosting its largest annual fundraising event.

The Asian Community Fund’s 2026 Gala will take place on Friday, October 2, 2026, 5:30 PM at the The Westin Copley Place. Nearly 700 AAPI leaders, partners, and supporters will gather for an inspiring evening featuring cultural performances, leadership awards, exceptional cuisine, and valuable networking opportunities while celebrating the achievements of Asian leaders and allies. Funds raised through the gala will support initiatives that amplify AAPI visibility, strengthen community leadership, and expand opportunities for organizations serving Asian American and Pacific Islander communities throughout Massachusetts.
