Have a question?

Each year, PbP selects a different social cause theme to champion. Local chapters then select a local nonprofit partner focused on issues within that theme and tailor a year-long campaign to serve them in a three-pronged approach:

AWARENESS

We strives to educate and bring awareness to issues impacting the Asian American community. We host workshops and volunteer partnership that enable our members to explore social justice topics to build them up as socially conscious leaders in the communities they serve beyond PbP.

FUNDRAISING

Each year, we host a signature fundraising event called Plate by Plate - the Asian American community’s first and largest annual tasting benefit. PbP donates a portion of the proceeds from Plate by Plate to each chapter’s respective beneficiary partners to help advance their org’s mission and goals related to the campaign theme.

VOLUNTEERISM

PbP projects are designed in cooperation with our partner, usually in direct response to a community need. Through this effort, members develop and hone in on their skills that they can then apply into other aspects of their professional and personal lives.

For more than 25 years, Project by Project has been a 100% volunteer-led and national nonprofit organization that empowers the Asian American community and develops the next generation of leaders through innovative philanthropy.
