What Asian American Bar Association of the Greater Bay Area does
Mission
The Asian American Bar Association of the Greater Bay Area (AABA) has been the voice of the San Francisco Bay Areas Asian Pacific American (APA) legal community since 1976. AABA fosters professional development, community, and service. We are advocates and allies for civil rights, representation, and equality.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
2025 has been a tough year for our community. From the challenges to our immigrant families, LGBTQ+ community, and DEI to attacks on the rule of law and the foundations of our democracy, it felt relentless and demoralizing. I promised in my first message that AABA will fight back. And we did, in big ways and small.AABA spoke out over a dozen times through amicus briefs and statements. AABA joined forces with organizations like the Asian Law Caucus and API Legal Outreach to create Know Your Rights materials and trainings, identify resources, and call our community to action. AABA celebrated the LGBTQ+ community through the first ever API LGBTQ+ conference, our Rainbow Road Gala, and the inaugural AABA/BALIF Foundation Scholarship. AABA strengthened access and equality by bringing its Pathways to Law program back in-person and honoring its Pathways to Partnership program. AABA brought together and supported our judiciary by holding a Judges Dinner for the first time since the pandemic. AABA Law Foundation celebrated over 35 years of scholarships. And these are just the highlights AABA also continued its bread and butter work of uplifting the API community through its committee…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $435k to $529k (+22%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Asian American Bar Association of the Greater Bay Area’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of Asian American Bar Association of the Greater Bay Area's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
