Tuesday was our first full conference day, and we had a blast! We opened up with a plenary about Chicago Solidarity on the Frontlines, enjoyed a lunch plenary about The State of AANHPI Philanthropy in 2025, and immersed ourselves in local culture and heritage with site visits to Chinatown and the National Cambodian Heritage Museum. We closed off the day by recognizing and bestowing awards to two outstanding individuals within the AANHPI community who have advanced the field of philanthropy to be more inclusive and just. Lori Villarosa was awarded the Urvashi Vaid Intersectional Leadership Award for over three decades of deep-rooted commitment to intersectional organizing and transformative social change that has shaped and strengthened the field of racial justice philanthropy. We were honored to recognize Unmi Song, whose impact has shaped and strengthened the local, as well as national, philanthropic landscape, as the recipient of the Local Champion Award in Chicago. Congratulations, Lori and Unmi, on your well-deserved recognitions! (fb)
