Asian Pacific Fund Gala: Moving with Courage

Asian Pacific Fund’s 2026 Gala, Moving with Courage, is Saturday, November 14, 2026, starting at 5:00 PM at The Conservatory at One Sansome Street in San Francisco’s Financial District. The Fund presents it as a night for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander donors, nonprofit leaders, and partners. Individual tickets and tables of ten sell through the Fund’s ticket flow linked from the gala page and its announcements. Public marketing does not always print every price band in the same place, so open the live ticket page before you commit. Host posts flag Dale Minami introducing Norman Wong as a centerpiece of the program.

Asian Pacific Fund is the Bay Area’s pan-AAPI community foundation—the annual gala is where its board, major donors, and grantee network share one room. Korean American Community Foundation of San Francisco has listed the evening on its own calendar, which signals overlapping philanthropy density without making KACF a co-host. Expect reception, dinner, and program, not a standing happy hour.

Board members, nonprofit operators, and people who already give to AANHPI work in the Bay Area will recognize the room. If you wanted a free professional mixer or a $50 South Bay chamber dinner, those are different nights with different asks. Budget for a fundraising ticket, not a soft RSVP.

One Sansome is an easy BART and Muni stop in the Financial District. A 5:00 start rewards early arrival for the reception line. Keep your ticket email; the Fund’s page is the place for dress and program updates.
