September 21st marks the start of the Mid-Autumn Festival – a joyous time for families to reunite, indulge in mooncakes and light lanterns. Our newest merchandise collection celebrates this joyous holiday by embodying traditions and stories from some of NYC Chinatown’s oldest businesses.

Halfway through 2021, we’re taking a moment to celebrate milestones for our community – our team, supporters, donors, partners, and most of all – small businesses.

Read on to learn more about our 6-month impact.

We’re back with another financial update and to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate our collective effort to shed light and love on Chinatown, a beloved community by so many, and a precious one whose history, cultural significance and spirit is one we fight for every day. 

In 2020, together, we raised $677,000 where 77% of all funds raised go back directly into Chinatown — that’s more than half a million dollars back into Chinatown’s small businesses ($521,290).

It’s hard to believe we recently surpassed our first six months as a grassroots initiative. So much and so little seems to have changed. While we’re still in the midst of a pandemic, major economic loss, a continued fight for racial justice, political turmoil, natural disasters… we really had to take a step back to appreciate what is good in the world, and that starts with you, our donors. Together, we have put back more than $250,000 into Chinatown’s small businesses. Thank you.
