Mission

NEW BREATH FOUNDATION PROVIDES PIVOTAL GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS THE SUSTAINABLE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO GIVE NEW BEGINNINGS TO AANHPIS HARMED BY INCARCERATION, DEPORTATION, AND SYSTEMS OF VIOLENCE IN THE U.S.

  • TARGETED GRANTMAKING: NBF GRANTS GRASSROOTS AANHPI ORGANIZATIONS WITH DEMONSTRATED EXPERIENCE LEADING RACIAL JUSTICE EFFORTS WHILE PROMOTING LEADERSHIP OF THE FORMERLY INCARCERATED, CRIMINALIZED COMMUNITIES, AND THOSE IMPACTED BY DETENTION AND DEPORTATION. MOST GRANTEES HAVE ANNUAL BUDGETS UNDER 1 MILLION. IN 2023, NBF AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS IDENTIFIED SEVEN ORGANIZATIONS TO RECEIVE BETWEEN 160,000-230,000 EACH THROUGH THE WE GOT US FUND, A DONOR-ADVISED FUND MANAGED BY THE EAST BAY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. SIX RETURNING GRANTEE ORGANIZATIONS WERE AWARDED BETWEEN 70,000 AND 150,000 AS WELL. THROUGH THE NEW BREATH FUND, MANAGED BY NBF, SEVEN ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVED 20,000 GENERAL GRANTS, AND 22 ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVED STAFF DISCRETIONARY GRANTS FROM 1000-3000.

    Expenses $3,818,392 · Grants $2,908,908

  • GRANTEE ORGANIZING, CAPACITY & RESOURCE BUILDING: NBF CONTINUES TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF OUR GRASSROOTS NONPROFIT PARTNERS. WE HAVE LEVERAGED RESOURCES FOR GRANTEES THROUGH INTRODUCTIONS TO OTHER FUNDERS, COACHES, CAPACITY ASSESSMENTS, AND ADVISING. IN 2023, WE WRAPPED UP OUR CAPACITY BUILDING SUPPORT FOR YEAR 1 WGUF GRANTEES, OF 25,000 ADDITIONAL FUNDS, AND LAUNCHED A NEW TARGETED CAPACITY-BUILDING EFFORT FOR ALL WGUF ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING 5,000 EACH IN DIRECT COACHING SERVICES AND A SELF-ADMINISTERED CAPACITY BUILDING ASSESSMENT TOOL VALUED AT 500 PER ORGANIZATION.

  • LEADERSHIP PATHWAYS: FROM ITS INCEPTION, NBF WAS DESIGNED AS A VEHICLE FOR LEADERSHIP PATHWAYS TO PHILANTHROPY FOR AANHPI COMMUNITIES DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY VIOLENCE DUE TO THE CRIMINAL LEGAL, AND DEPORTATION SYSTEMS. ONE WAY IS THROUGH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT TO GRANTEES AND MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CAC). WE DEVELOPED OUR PARTICIPATORY GRANTMAKING PROCESS WITH CAC MEMBERS, WHO SHARE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE FIELD, KEY STRATEGIES, AND POSSIBLE GRANTEES. 75% OF THE CAC ARE JUSTICE SYSTEM IMPACTED AND VIOLENCE-IMPACTED LEADERS. THE CAC IS ITSELF A VEHICLE TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION IN PHILANTHROPY FOR FOLKS FROM MARGINALIZED AANHPI COMMUNITIES. PLEASE SEE SCHEDULE O FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

  • CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 RACIAL SOLIDARITY, EDUCATION, AND COMMUNITY ADVOCACY IN 2023, WE HAVE BEEN A PART OF COALITIONS WITH FUNDERS AND GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONAL PARTNERS SUPPORTING RACIAL SOLIDARITY BETWEEN AANHPI AND OTHER BIPOC COMMUNITIES. THESE INCLUDE: - SEED CHANGE, FORMERLY KNOWN AS STATEWIDE CULTURAL STRATEGY WORKING GROUP -THE AAPI CEOS & TRUSTEES GROUP WITH ASIAN AMERICAN PRACTITIONERS IN PHILANTHROPY -THE CALIFORNIA CRIMINAL JUSTICE FUNDERS GROUP -SOLIDAIRE NETWORK -DONORS OF COLOR NETWORK WE ARE ALSO SUPPORTING VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND SOLIDARITY WORK THROUGH FUNDING AND CONVENING. ---------------------- DEPORTATION SUPPORT, INCARCERATION & REENTRY KITES TO SOUTHEAST ASIA IS A COALITION CREATED BETWEEN NEW BREATH FOUNDATION, NEW LIGHT WELLNESS, ASIAN PRISONER SUPPORT COMMITTEE, MN8, AND ORGANIZERS WHO WORK WITH FORMERLY INCARCERATED AND DEPORTED CAMBODIANS. NEW LIGHT WELLNESS IS A MENTAL HEALTH OUTREACH PROGRAM SERVING THOSE DEPORTED TO CAMBODIA, SEEDED BY A GRANT FROM NEW BREATH FOUNDATION. SINCE LAUNCHING IN FEBRUARY 2021, NEW LIGHT HAS REACHED OVER 75 PARTICIPANTS THROUGH ONE-ON-ONE SESSIONS, PEER SUPPORT GROUPS, ADVOCACY WORKSHOPS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY-BUILDING EVENTS. PARTICIPANTS UNPACK TRAUMA FROM THE LEGACY OF GENOCIDE, REFUGEE AND RESETTLEMENT EXPERIENCE, AND THEIR JOURNEY IN THE PRISON PIPELINE, ICE DETENTION, AND DEPORTATION TO CAMBODIA. MANY HAVE REPORTED ISOLATION, REJECTION AND THE FEELING THEY ARE FORGOTTEN, AND MOST DO NOT DISCLOSE THEIR STATUS FOR FEAR OF PERSECUTION.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
