The Orchid Giving Circle is a group of Asian women who work together, pooling their resources and leveraging their networks, to award large community grants that support social change and services for the North Texas Asian community. Orchid members represent a wide range of Asian cultures, ages, ethnicities and professions with the goal of increasing awareness of the local Asian population, community needs and knowledge about philanthropy.
The mission of the Orchid Giving Circle is to encourage philanthropy in the Asian American/Pacific Islander community to contribute in a strategic and meaningful way and to bring a new source of funding to nonprofit organizations serving Asian Americans throughout the North Texas area. The Circle provides the opportunity to learn about issues and organizations that affect and impact the Asian American/Pacific Islander community.
