Our Work

APANO’s Theory of Change defines the impact we aim to make and the individual, institutional and cultural shifts we believe are necessary to bring that change to fruition.

The core of APANO’s work is building a powerful base of members who create and lead solutions that address real issues in their communities and shift the balance of power.

APANO aims to grow the analysis, skills and confidence of Asians and Asian Americans to improve their lives and achieve social justice for generations to come.

Cultural Work mobilizes artists, cultural producers and community members to amplify their voices, influence popular narratives and build power.

APANO is honored to offer business support and access to resources for the Jade District and Old Town, as well as BIPOC business communities throughout Multnomah and Washington County.

Elevating issues through community engagement, research, mobilizing voters, and coordinating grassroots advocacy actions to ensure all Asians and Asian Americans have a voice in the policies and decisions that affect their lives.
