Our 2025 Beneficiary Partner: Adhikaar
A women-led community and worker center working with Nepali-speaking communities to promote human rights and social justice
This year's fundraising will support Adhikaar to continue our mission of developing leaders through innovative philanthropy. Proceeds from this year's event will be distributed to PbP beneficiary partners and the community and to help with PbP operational costs as we are a 100% volunteer-run organization.
Our innovative model strives to educate and bring awareness about pressing community social issues - and consequently, un-tap and cultivate increased financial, intellectual, and social capital to strengthen community nonprofits for long-term sustainability.
By providing an intentional learning environment for our volunteers to practice leadership skills through collaborative opportunities with local nonprofits, PbP-NY is able to develop a pipeline for young leaders to serve on boards and take greater leadership responsibility in all aspects of community and society.
Project by Project - About Us
Project by Project New York (PbP NY) is a leadership development incubator aiming to develop a pipeline for the next generation of Asian Americans in philanthropy.
PbP was founded in New York City in 1997 by a group of young Asian American professionals and officially became a 501(c)(3) organization in 1998. With backgrounds across finance, consulting, technology, media, entertainment and law, PbP's founding team established an organization with the mindset of volunteering, increasing awareness and fundraising for fellow organizations within the Asian American community.
Every year, each PbP chapter champions a community non-profit as its beneficiary partner, driving a tailored year-long campaign to build capacity around the non-profit's fundraising, community outreach, and public awareness efforts.
PbP's signature fundraiser Plate by Plate is the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community's first and largest annual tasting benefit. It features top restaurants and beverage purveyors, attracting thousands of attendees nationwide. Proceeds are remitted to chapters' respective beneficiary partners.
