On December 6, 2022, the Jeremy Lin Foundation, in collaboration with The Asian American Foundation (TAAF), announced the launch of the Stronger Together Collaborative focused on Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) youth solidarity and empowerment. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati assisted the Jeremy Lin Foundation in the formation of the Stronger Together Collaborative.
The Stronger Together Collaborative recognizes that growing cross-racial solidarity also includes intra-AAPI solidarity and is funding organizations at various stages of this work. With a seed grant from TAAF and other partners, $1.5 million in grants will be awarded over three years to an initial pilot of cohorts based in New York City. These nine community-rooted AAPI youth organizations have demonstrated strong leadership and a commitment to long-term sustainable solutions for solidarity, serve youth in low-to-moderate income areas, and faced barriers to accessing philanthropic capital. Together, the recipients work with over 4,000 youth from multi-generational, historically underserved, low-income families.
The Wilson Sonsini pro bono team that assisted the Jeremy Lin Foundation includes Jonathan Chan, Barath Chari, and Jonathan Ye.
