Welcome from the Gala Co-Chairs

Thank you for attending the Korean American Community

Foundation’s 2014 Annual Gala! We are honored to have you

join us as we celebrate and reflect on KACF’s

accomplishments over the past 12 years and

look forward to seeing many more positive

changes to which we will contribute in the future.

Since its inception, KACF has been steadfast in its commitment to the most

vulnerable communities in the Greater New York Area while promoting a

culture of giving among the Korean American community. Many thanks to

your continued support of KACF, we have been able to grant more than $3.8

million over the last 12 years to community-based organizations. Our grantee

partners have touched the lives of thousands of families and individuals, and

we salute all of them for their tireless effort in improving our communities.

Our work is possible because of the collective efforts of many people, including

our Board of Directors, staff, Advisory members, Steering Committee, and the

members of the 2014 Gala Benefit Committee. We especially would like to

express our deep gratitude to our generous supporters for making this year’s

Gala the most successful one yet.

Tonight, we recognize Jin Roy Ryu, President & CEO of Poongsan Group, and General Colin L.

Powell, for their extraordinary contributions to our community and our country. We are thrilled

to have ABC’s Juju Chang, a founding KACF Board member, serving as our distinguished emcee

once again.

Thank you for being a part of this celebration, and we hope you are inspired by the many stories

you will hear this evening.

achievement of individuals and organizations working to improve our commu-

nities, we would like to applaud our grantee partners and other community

ing lives and ensuring a better future for all. They are on the front lines help-

ing under-served young people get the support they need to attend college,

ensuring that battered women and children receive culturally sensitive coun-

seling, and providing life-saving cancer screenings to uninsured immigrants.

These are a few examples of the critical work that you are supporting by being

with us this evening.

Tonight, we are proud to honor Jin Roy Ryu, Chairman & CEO of Poongsan

Group, for his exemplary leadership and contributions in business and philan-

thropy. We are also privileged to have as our Keynote Speaker General Colin

L. Powell, a pioneering leader who serves as a role model and inspiration

to all of us.

This evening would not have been possible without the dedication and tire-

less efforts of many people, but in particular, we would like to express our deep gratitude to this

year’s Gala Co-Chairs, Michael Chung and James Seo, for their superb leadership and dedication

to ensuring the success of the Gala. Thank you for being a part of this magnificent evening and for

Keynote Speaker

General Colin L. Powell KACF is honored to welcome General Colin L. Powell as our 2014 Keynote Speaker.

For over fifty years, General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.) has devoted his life to public service. Having

held senior military and diplomatic positions across four presidential administrations, Powell’s deep

commitment to democratic values and freedom has been felt throughout the world.

The son of Jamaican immigrants, Powell was born in Harlem in April 1937 and raised in the South

Bronx. He was educated in New York City’s public schools and upon joining

the Army ROTC program at City College of New York (CCNY), discovered

his calling and launched his military career.

After 35 years in the U.S. Army, where he rose to the rank of Four-Star Gen-

eral, he served as National Security Advisor for President Ronald Reagan

and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for both President George H.W.

Bush and for President Bill Clinton. Under President George W. Bush, Powell

was appointed the 65th Secretary of State. He led the State Department in

major efforts to address and solve regional and civil conflicts, always using

the power of diplomacy to build trust, forge alliances and help transform

unstable regions into areas where societies and cultures have the potential

to prosper. He also worked at the forefront of American efforts to advance economic and social

development worldwide.

Powell is the Chair of the Board of Visitors of the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership

at CCNY and the Founder and Chairman Emeritus of the America’s Promise Alliance. He is part of

the leadership of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, the edu-

cation center for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the Smithsonian Institute’s African American

Museum of History and Culture.

He is a strategic limited partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, serves on the Boards of Bloom

Energy and Salesforce.com, is the Chairman of the Advisory Board of Leeds Equity Partners, and is

Chairman of the Eisenhower Fellowships, a cross-cultural program for emerging international leaders.

Powell has written two best-selling books, My American Journey and It Worked for Me. He and his

wife, Alma Powell, live in McLean, Virginia and have three children and four grandchildren.

tan to Breezy Point to the Rockaways. She reported on the mass shootings

in Newtown, Conn., interviewing a mother of one of the young victims. For

a special “Nightline” series following the shooting at Sandy Hook, she pro-

reports include an in-depth look at the impact on foreign adoptions gone wrong; the struggles of

people with Albinism globally; and an intimate portrait of one family dealing with gender transition.

A former news anchor for “Good Morning America,” Chang had previously anchored the early morn-

ing newscasts “World News Now” and “World News This Morning” in 2000. She began her career at

ABC News as a desk assistant and eventually became a producer at “World News Tonight.” She rose

Georges, and the anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Chang has also covered the White

House, Capitol Hill and the 1996 Presidential election from D.C. and was a reporter in San Francisco.

Born in Seoul, South Korea and raised in California, Chang graduated with honors from Stanford Uni-

Formed in 2005, the Korean American Community Foundation’s Steering Committee (SC) is com-

prised of young working professionals in New York with a deep passion for their community. The SC

supports the KACF Board by providing resources to execute various initiatives. SC members work to

increase awareness of KACF’s mission and inspire new members to volunteer their time to support

the organization. What essentially began as a handful of volunteers has evolved into a larger, more

structured group of dedicated committee members who can be relied upon to support all KACF

initiatives, from organizing events to working with grantee partner organizations.


Who We AreThe Korean American Community Foundation transforms and empowers communities through

philanthropy, volunteerism and inter-community bridge building. KACF pursues these goals through

grantmaking that promotes self-sufficiency for the underserved and under-resourced, through rais-

ing awareness of needs and issues, and by fostering a culture of giving.

Our vision is a vibrant Korean American community working together to strengthen our society.

Founded in 2002, the Korean American Community Foundation has grown to become a trusted

source of philanthropy within the Korean and Asian American communities in greater New York

area. To date, KACF has made $3.8 million in grants to community-based organizations working to

improve lives and transform communities.

What We DoKACF provides grants and capacity-building assistance to nonprofit organizations working to ad-

dress the most pressing needs in the Korean American community and beyond. We foster phil-

anthropic giving among Korean Americans, the general public, corporations and foundations by

providing our supporters with an effective vehicle to magnify the impact of their giving and to build

bridges across generations and communities.

KACF of San FranciscoWith committed local leaders from the Bay Area, KACF officially launched our west coast affiliate,

Korean American Community Foundation of San Francisco (KACF-SF) in 2014 to promote the Foun-

dation’s mission of helping our neighbors and cultivating a culture of giving in the Korean American

community. The affiliate shares our mission and its work will focus on addressing the issues and

needs in the local community. KACF is also very committed to the Korean and Asian American com-

munities in the greater metropolitan New York area, and KACF-SF will be an important partner in our

work to advance Korean American philanthropic participation, voice and influence.

2014 ANNUAL GALA 13

PhilanthropyKACF is committed to instilling a strategic and collective

culture of giving among Korean Americans.

KACF promotes philanthropy among Korean Americans by raising awareness about the issues af-

fecting our community. The fundraising events throughout the year serve as channels to raise funds

in support of KACF’s work and also to engage in a dialogue about community issues and to foster

a culture of giving.

KACF instills philanthropic leadership by providing an organized vehicle for giving and by mobilizing

and encouraging its supporters to become active participants in their communities. By leveraging

their expertise and financial resources, donors and volunteers are empowered to provide solutions

to these community issues.

A Dollar A Day for Our Neighbors CampaignBuilding on KACF’s founding commitment to

foster a grassroots culture of giving, A Dollar

A Day for Our Neighbors campaign connects

a network of community-minded individuals to

live by the philosophy that “a dollar a day” can

make a difference.

Golf ClassicThe Golf Classic has become a signature fund-

raising event for KACF in which donors, vol-

unteers, and supporters get together for an

enjoyable golf outing in support of KACF’s

dedication to improving lives and strengthen-

ing our community.

Team KACF in the TCS New York City MarathonSince 2010, Team KACF has raised funds

through the TCS New York City Marathon to

help strengthen our community. Each year, a

group of dedicated runners push their endur-

ance to complete a grueling 26.2 miles to help

advance KACF’s mission of transforming and

empowering communities.

Team KACF in the TD Five Boro Bike TourKACF has participated in the TD Five Boro

Bike Tour since 2012. Each year, a team of bik-

ers commits to raise community awareness and

funds as they pedal across all five boroughs of

New York City in support of KACF.

Steering Committee’s Summer BenefitEach summer, KACF’s Steering Committee,

a group of young professionals who share a

deep passion for helping our community, hosts

a Summer Benefit to raise funds and promote

KACF’s work in their networks. This event helps

increase awareness of KACF’s work, recruit new

volunteers and inspire them to get involved.


GrantmakingKACF seeks to help vulnerable individuals and families

to lead safe and healthy lives.

The Foundation pursues this goal through its grantmaking by supporting organizations that are mak-

ing a difference in underserved and under-resourced communities. KACF prioritizes programs that

address senior and youth empowerment, economic security, inter-community development, safety,

and health, especially programs that help individuals and families to become self-sufficient.

Community Grants CommitteeSince its founding, KACF has recognized the importance of strengthening partnerships among orga-

nizations and individuals who share a collective commitment to improving our community, and this

is reflected in the Foundation’s participatory grantmaking process. KACF seeks to bridge gaps of

understanding between the donor and grantee partner communities by engaging volunteers in

grantmaking. The goals are two-fold—to help the volunteers gain a better understanding about

community issues and grassroots solutions, and to provide grant applicants with an opportunity to

share their expertise and cultivate new allies. In 2009, the Foundation formalized this participatory

grantmaking model by activating a Community Grants Committee (CGC) comprising volunteers

with diverse personal and professional experiences. Following comprehensive trainings, CGC mem-

bers read grant proposals, visit applicant organizations under the guidance of the KACF Program

Officer, and make funding recommendations to a smaller Board committee. Through this process,

the Foundation aims to develop a cohort of educated and engaged community volunteers.

KACF’s Capacity Building Initiative aims to build up the infrastructure and strengthen the capacity of

its grantee partners. In this work, the Foundation takes a two-pronged approach to meet the needs

of grantee partners who are in different stages of organizational development and have varying

capacity building concerns. The goal of the Initiative is to affect positive change within the organiza-

tions and the community as a whole.

Technical Assistance (TA) GrantsThe TA Grant aims to help Staff and Board of

grantee partners increase their capacity to lead

and manage their organizations. Current grant-

ee partners are eligible to apply for grants up

to $2500 throughout the year to build their

organization’s infrastructure and leadership in

such areas as financial management, Board/

Staff development, communications, fundrais-

ing and technology.

Capacity Building Fellowship ProgramIn 2013, KACF launched the Capacity Build-

ing Fellowship Program with two goals: 1) to

strengthen Korean American nonprofits, specif-

ically our grantee partners, through linguistically

and culturally sensitive technical assistance, and

2) to develop a cohort of bilingual and bi-cul-

tural nonprofit professionals who are critically

needed in the Korean American community.

Chantal Kim joined as KACF’s first Fellow late

last year, and a number of organizations have

already benefited from capacity development

support for the first time. The results of her

work with these organizations have been pow-

erful. Seemingly abstract theoretical frame-

works have been able to translate across lan-

guage and culture to reinvigorate the passion

of board members. Organizations are review-

ing and refining their mission statement for the

first time in years to ensure that their programs,

board and staff are aligned, while both the first

and second generation staff leaders are taking

time to think of creative ways to make the or-

ganization stronger and more effective. This is

only the beginning, and there is great potential

to strengthen and enhance the capabilities of

our grantee partners and in turn allow these or-

ganizations to serve their communities better.
