Ignite Our Light
When one of us shines, we all shine
Your gift helps us ignite the light within Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) girls and gender-expansive youth and ensures it continues to shine for years to come.
We’re on a mission to raise $10,000
Every gift helps us create identity-affirming spaces for AANHPI girls and gender-expansive youth. Spaces where they feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Double your impact with our Inaugural Guardians of Light Collective! Once we hit that goal, your donation will be matched dollar for dollar up to $5000 from a Giving Circle of Asian Girls Ignite families. Your donation now helps us get halfway there.

Our work is deeply personal
A message from our founders
Founded in 2020, Asian Girls Ignite is a Colorado nonprofit that creates spaces for AANHPI girls and gender-expansive youth to be their full selves. We believe our students already have the power to lead their own futures — we simple provide them with the support to do so with confidence.
Our programs help students connect with their cultures, build their identities, and form strong friendships through storytelling, mentorship, and leadership. We want to change the way people see AANHPI youth, showing that they are the leaders and creators of tomorrow. When students feel seen, heard, and valued, they thrive — and make sure future generations know they belong.
