Your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000 in cumulative new donations.

By Ginger Lew, CAPA21 Co-Chair

We are a little more than $20,000 away from reaching our $100,000 matching campaign goal. We’re so thrilled and grateful to the returning and new donors who have contributed so far.

Your donation could be the one to help us cross the finish line!

We are already putting your donations to good use with donations approved to:
$5,000 to Senator Rafael Warnock in Georgia
$5,000 to Senator Mark Kelly in Arizona
$5,000 to Senator Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada
$2,000 to Calif. Attorney General Rob Bonta

We have also identified API organizations in Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Nevada for us to invest in and we will decide on the amounts depending on the final results of our fundraising.

CAPA21 is grateful to the sponsors of our $100,000 matching donation challenge: Raymond L. Ocampo Jr. and Sandra O. Ocampo, Joan Haratani, Clement Kong, Kei-on Chan and Sonia Ng, Don Tamaki, Minami Tamaki LLP, Dianne Fukami, and Ai Mori and Dale Minami. We would not be able to do this match campaign without these sponsors and we appreciate their generous support!
