About us
The Asian Giving Circle (AGC), a donor advised fund of The Chicago Community Trust, brings together professionals throughout Chicago to leverage impact on issues of common concern within Asian American communities. The Asian Giving Circle was created in 2002 to build support for nonprofit organizations addressing the community’s challenges. That community is incredibly diverse, composed of more than 30 ethnic groups speaking hundreds of languages and dialects. AGC has contributed more than $500,000 to nonprofit organizations serving Asian American residents in the Chicago region. Asian Giving Circle is a member of the AAPIP National Giving Circle Network.
