Supports AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) and cross-racial youth programs through community empowerment, cross-racial solidarity, and narrative change
Jeremy Lin Foundation, in partnership with generous donors, launched our Thrive Together Collaborative. We will be supporting ~20 community-based organizations over the next five years that improve outcomes and opportunities for underserved AAPI youth! #ThriveTogether
@BCNCInc has been a partner of ours for the last 10 years, providing critical services for underserved youth at its Boston & Quincy locations! Youth emerge from BCNC's Youth Programs equipped to support their success & mental health. Check them out to support & learn more! 🤲

From makeshift basketball camps to multi-year grants uniting AAPI youth organizations in New York and the Bay Area, the NBA star’s foundation has evolved from reactive giving to a focused mission on mental health, confidence and community.

Congratulations to our founder, @jlin7 on a well-deserved retirement. From underdog to unforgettable, Jeremy's greatest impact to us is what he's built off the court. Thank you Jeremy for your vision, heart, and belief in a brighter future where all youth can thrive together! 💛
We wrapped #AAPIHeritageMonth in NYC, spending time w/ partners who navigate budgetary uncertainty, build #mentalhealth programs, & support vulnerable immigrants everyday.
THANK YOU for your time, critical work, & unwavering dedication to our communities! 🙌💪🤝

It can make a huge difference for AAPI youth to have a holistic support system that includes parents or caregivers! @BCNCInc, @cacf, and Oakland Trybe provide #CulturallyResponsive#ParentEducation to equip parents with tools to support their student's #MentalWellness.
#CulturallyCompetentCare is a key factor in nurturing empowered #AAPIYouth. Asian Americans receive #MentalHealth services as a much lower rate than other ethnic groups in the US.
Alongside our partners, we can ensure AANHPI youth receive the support they deserve to thrive. 🌏💙
Our community listening has surfaced top of mind issues of mental health + bullying & discrimination. We’re invested in long-term #systemschange and support partners who are making that change. Tune in during #APAHM for some resources on how you can, too!
#AAPI#HeritageMonth
As a foundation, we support other non-profit organizations who serve those most marginalized in the form of multi-year grantmaking thru data-driven insights with a community-centered approach to drive deeper, more lasting change. 🌍✨ #CatalyzingChange#StrongerCommunities#AAPI
14 years in and our mission is stronger than ever: uplifting AAPI and underserved youth by tackling the toughest barriers they face. We're proud to stand with community leaders and nonprofits who equip and empower youth to thrive.
Join in our mission as we go further together!
Through every step—before, during, and beyond Linsanity—our mission has stayed true: to be a bridge for those often overlooked, and a voice for those who need to be heard.
After 14 years, the journey is far from over. 💪🏻
Sound off with some AANHPI orgs doing great work!

ICYMI: @JLin7 interviewed with @abc7kristensze on @abc7newsbayarea during @NBA All-Star Weekend and shared words of encouragement for community-based organizations, reminding us to stay hopeful, show up for each other, and continue building #community! Full interview below 🎙️
Nearly 200 youth and families from community partners in the Bay joined us and @jlin7 at @NBA 🌟 All-Star Weekend for a Q&A with Jeremy and a game on the @nexplayground! The youth always ask such insightful Q's that leave us with more to think about! 🙏💭 #Youth#MentalHealth
We recognize the importance of solidarity and creating safe spaces for the youth our partners are serving with grace and love. 💖
Join us in volunteering with Oakland Trybe on Monday, 1/20 as we remember the life, achievements, and impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr!
