About Asian Focus

Rooted in heritage. Built for everyone.

Asian Focus is a North Carolina 501(c)(3) nonprofit celebrating, empowering and advancing Asian voices through culture, education, business and community engagement.

Who we are

Asian Focus is a non-profit (501c3) organization formed to promote, sponsor and support programs that help Asian Americans and immigrants of all generations. We work at the intersection of creativity, strategy and purpose — turning ideas into programs that create real-world impact.

We strive to help individuals and their families address the daily cultural and linguistic challenges of acclimating to American society, while fostering synergy and encouraging participation from agencies and skilled professionals. Heritage is our starting point; connection, inclusion and shared prosperity are the larger purpose.

Founded in 2009 and based in the Raleigh–Durham Triangle, Asian Focus celebrates Asian heritage while building bridges across North Carolina's diverse communities through cultural exchange, community health, civic engagement and nonprofit partnerships.
