Jeremy Lin Foundation, in partnership with generous donors, launched our Thrive Together Collaborative. We will be supporting ~20 community-based organizations over the next five years that improve outcomes and opportunities for underserved AAPI youth! #ThriveTogether

From makeshift basketball camps to multi-year grants uniting AAPI youth organizations in New York and the Bay Area, the NBA star’s foundation has evolved from reactive giving to a focused mission on mental health, confidence and community.

Congratulations to our founder, @jlin7 on a well-deserved retirement. From underdog to unforgettable, Jeremy's greatest impact to us is what he's built off the court. Thank you Jeremy for your vision, heart, and belief in a brighter future where all youth can thrive together! 💛
We wrapped #AAPIHeritageMonth in NYC, spending time w/ partners who navigate budgetary uncertainty, build #mentalhealth programs, & support vulnerable immigrants everyday.
THANK YOU for your time, critical work, & unwavering dedication to our communities! 🙌💪🤝

It can make a huge difference for AAPI youth to have a holistic support system that includes parents or caregivers! @BCNCInc, @cacf, and Oakland Trybe provide #CulturallyResponsive #ParentEducation to equip parents with tools to support their student's #MentalWellness.
Peer and group-based mental health settings can help #AAPIYouth navigate racism and bullying through connection and #CollectiveHealing. @adhikaar @cyinyc @MinKwonCenter @MekongNYC and South Asian Youth Action all create safe spaces for dialogue, #CommunityCare, and processing!
#CulturallyCompetentCare is a key factor in nurturing empowered #AAPIYouth. Asian Americans receive #MentalHealth services as a much lower rate than other ethnic groups in the US.
Alongside our partners, we can ensure AANHPI youth receive the support they deserve to thrive. 🌏💙
Our community listening has surfaced top of mind issues of mental health + bullying & discrimination. We’re invested in long-term #systemschange and support partners who are making that change. Tune in during #APAHM for some resources on how you can, too!
#AAPI #HeritageMonth
As a foundation, we support other non-profit organizations who serve those most marginalized in the form of multi-year grantmaking thru data-driven insights with a community-centered approach to drive deeper, more lasting change. 🌍✨ #CatalyzingChange #StrongerCommunities #AAPI
14 years in and our mission is stronger than ever: uplifting AAPI and underserved youth by tackling the toughest barriers they face. We're proud to stand with community leaders and nonprofits who equip and empower youth to thrive.
Join in our mission as we go further together!
14 years ago, @jlin7 founded the Jeremy Lin Foundation as he entered the NBA.
Over the years, our approach has evolved to center AAPI youth in solidarity w/ other marginalized communities!

ICYMI: @JLin7 interviewed with @abc7kristensze on @abc7newsbayarea during @NBA All-Star Weekend and shared words of encouragement for community-based organizations, reminding us to stay hopeful, show up for each other, and continue building #community! Full interview below 🎙️
Nearly 200 youth and families from community partners in the Bay joined us and @jlin7 at @NBA 🌟 All-Star Weekend for a Q&A with Jeremy and a game on the @nexplayground! The youth always ask such insightful Q's that leave us with more to think about! 🙏💭 #Youth #MentalHealth
We recognize the importance of solidarity and creating safe spaces for the youth our partners are serving with grace and love. 💖
Join us in volunteering with Oakland Trybe on Monday, 1/20 as we remember the life, achievements, and impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr!
Why This Matters:
*90% of AANHPI youth have faced race-based discrimination, affecting their mental health and well-being
*Suicide is the leading cause of death for AAPI youth
*Despite rising poverty levels among AAPI youth, <1% of philanthropic donations go towards AAPI causes.
We invite you to join us in the joy, hope, and impact of centering vulnerable youth and community nonprofits. Jeremy covers all the operating costs of the Foundation so 100% of your contribution goes directly to youth in need.
