The DC Center and the Rainbow Dragon Fund are proud to announce a new partnership this year. The DC Center serves as fiscal sponsor of the Rainbow Dragon Fund, DC's only queer Asian American and Pacific Islander giving circle.

"The DC Center is proud to support the work of the Rainbow Dragon Fund," stated David Mariner, Executive Director of the DC Center.

The mission of the Rainbow Dragon Fund is:

• To increase social justice philanthropic impact in support of queer AAPI individuals, organizations and/or community in the DC metropolitan area, and
• To provide/build a fun, supportive, and engaging vehicle for collective philanthropy by and for queer AAPIs.

"Giving circles are a great way to increase your philanthropic impact through collaboration and community," said Aaditi Dubale, a founding member. "We thank the DC Center for their support and look forward to a strong start."

The Rainbow Dragon Fund will be hosting their launch party next week on April 5th at Larry's Lounge (1840 18th Street NW). For more information about the Rainbow Dragon Fund, visit: http://www.rainbowdragonfund.org/
