An annual tasting benefit and community experience for philanthropy.
known to be the AAPI community’s first and largest annual tasting benefit
Plate by Plate is the signature fundraiser hosted by Project by Project local chapters across LA/NY/SF. Proceeds are remitted to each chapter’s respective beneficiary partners to support the annual campaign’s social cause. The event features top restaurants and beverage purveyors, attracting thousands of attendees nationwide.
This year, OUR CAMPAIGN THEME IS COMMUNITIES IN ACTION
With communities in action as our 2026 campaign theme, Project by Project and its local chapters will will focus on supporting these organizations that serve as resource hubs and anchors within AAPI communities. Our work will center on two Core Concepts:
Belonging: Fostering environments where individuals and families, regardless of their identity statuses, feel welcomed, supported, and equipped to build stability and connection. Through education and service partnerships, we affirm that thriving communities begin with trust, access, and opportunity.
Community Leadership: Cultivating and strengthening pathways for the next generation of AAPI leaders to help shape and serve their communities through informed civic engagement.
By focusing on these priorities, we aim to strengthen grassroots CBOs' capacity to directly assist individuals and families in need. We invite our supporters to champion these organizations and join Project by Project in building resilient communities in action.By attending a Plate by Plate event, you become an essential part of this movement, helping us raise funds to sustain and expand our efforts, one plate at a time.
