The Federation augments the ability of its member agencies to address community needs and concerns. Primary forms of capacity-building support include:

• Management and technical assistance, especially in fund raising, financial management, information technology and organizational planning, to help members increase their effectiveness and improve their business practices;
• Access to resources, such as grants, training opportunities, volunteer consultants and donated computer equipment;
• Connections and collaboration opportunities to facilitate peer support; shared arrangements; and inter-agency cooperation on advocacy, fundraising and service planning; and
• Advocacy on policy issues that affect the well-being of Asian Americans and the ability of member agencies to meet community needs.
