On March 26, 2021, the Georgia Asian Pacific American Bar Association (GAPABA), the GAPABA Law Foundation, and the Korean American Bar Association of Georgia (KABA-GA), in partnership with The National Compassion Fund (NCF), launched the National AAPI Violence Prevention and Response Initiative, which will seek to prevent bias-motivated violence against the AAPI community and assist victims in the aftermath of such crimes. The initiative establishes 2 funds to further this effort:
DONATE to the 3/16 Survivors Fund |
DONATE to the AAPI Crime Victims & Education Fund |
The Atlanta 3/16 Survivors Fund is dedicated to supporting the victims and survivors of the horrible acts of violence committed in Atlanta and Acworth, Georgia on March 16, 2021. This will be administered by the National Compassion Fund. One hundred percent (100%) of the funds donated to this fund will go directly to survivors and victims of this atrocity. The National Compassion Fund is a subsidiary of the National Center for Victims of Crime, the nation’s leading resource and advocacy organization for crime victims and those who serve them. The National Center for Victims of Crime is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and a leading authority in compensating victims of mass casualty events.
