LOS ANGELES
Est. 2001
Project by Project - Los Angeles (PbP-LA) is a 501(c)(3) leadership development organization that empowers the Asian American community and develops the next generation of leaders through innovative philanthropy. Since the founding of the LA Chapter in 2001, PbP-LA has supported over 15 local community non-profit organizations. Our innovative model strives to educate and bring awareness about pressing community social issues — and consequently, un-tap and cultivate increased financial, intellectual, and social capital to strengthen community nonprofits for long-term sustainability. By providing an intentional learning environment for our volunteers to practice leadership skills through collaborative opportunities with local nonprofits, PbP-LA is able to develop a pipeline for young leaders to serve on boards and take greater leadership responsibility in all aspects of community and society.
PbP-LA fosters civic engagement and advocacy in the Asian American community by leveraging the human capital of our volunteers to serve local community nonprofits in a three-pronged approach: (1) Awareness (2) Fundraising, and (3) Volunteerism.
Awareness
We raise awareness on the campaign theme by educating the community on issues specific to the needs and experiences of the Asian American community. We accomplish this by hosting panel events and launching social media campaigns to our target audiences. Internally, we host workshops 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
Our team leverages its network of supporters to fundraise on behalf of the PbP and the annual campaign beneficiaries through corporate sponsorships, community grants, and direct individual donations. Every year, we host a signature fundraising event for our organization called Plate by Plate, which is the Asian American community’s first and largest annual tasting benefit. As part of our charitable contribution to our communities, PbP donates a portion of the proceeds from Plate by Plate to each chapters’ respective beneficiary partners to help advance their organization’s mission and goals related to the campaign theme.
Volunteerism
Our Steering Committee teams in each of our chapters are comprised of volunteers with backgrounds across finance, consulting, technology, media, entertainment and law, and more. We provide a pool of our volunteers to support the beneficiary partner(s) in through hands-on volunteering and pro-bono consulting.
