2026 annual gala
The Annual Gala is the largest gathering of Korean American philanthropists and leaders coming together across generations in support of our community.
Funds raised will support KACF and our nonprofit partners nationwide, expanding our reach and deepening our impact in lifting up our most vulnerable neighbors.
Join us as we celebrate a historic milestone—$20 million in cumulative grantmaking since our founding—and recognize the extraordinary organizations and individuals transforming lives and communities.
Our theme celebrates the power of Jeong (정), the Korean value of deep connection that keeps us rooted in community and inspires collective generosity.
