Cathy’s pathbreaking approach to collaboration among funders, nonprofits, and government has helped spark wide-ranging social impact, including California’s leadership among states in adopting pro-immigrant policies. She has co-founded several initiatives to build broader constituencies of Asian American Pacific Islanders who vote, organize and stand up for justice. In 2018, Cathy co-created the California Campus Catalyst Fund to expand services for undocumented students across California’s public higher education systems. She is a founder of the New Americans Campaign, which has assisted 500,000 immigrants to become citizens. Recently, Cathy joined Black community leaders to create the California Black Freedom Fund, a statewide power building effort.
