Our Mission
Indian American Impact empowers South Asian and Indian American communities — some of the fastest growing voter populations — through community engagement, civic partnerships, candidate support, and data & research in order to encourage a pro-democracy government that uplifts all people.
Our Work
Indian and South Asian Americans are a powerful and crucially important force for progressive change. We’re the fastest-growing racial voting bloc in America, we’re likely to vote, and we hold progressive values, but we’re still often overlooked. That’s why Impact believes the work of engaging Indian and South Asian Americans is among the most crucially important work in the country.
We’re dedicated to building political power, mobilizing voters, and fostering leaders to create meaningful change. Since our founding in 2016, Impact has invested over $20 million to engage South Asian and Asian American communities and elevate nearly 200 trailblazing candidates into public office. From school boards to Congress, these leaders are reshaping their communities and making this country better for all.
But our mission goes far beyond elections. From Pennsylvania to Georgia and beyond, our communities are awakening to other political power, and our potential as a transformative force for progress continues to grow. Through initiatives like candidate training programs, community-building summits, grassroots voter outreach, and robust policy advocacy, Impact is empowering South Asian Americans to lead, vote, and make their voices heard.
Together, we’re building a more just, inclusive, and representative society — for South Asian Americans and for all Americans.
Our Vision
Impact is working to build an America in which there is equitable Indian and South Asian American representation at every level of government. We believe broader participation from our communities will result in policies that ensure racial, economic, and immigrant justice for all. We want to make real a nation that ensures every American truly has the right to vote, and live in a country with equal opportunity, where immigrants are treated with dignity and respect. We are working to enact policies that will ensure our children have a safe, healthy planet to live in, free from discrimination and hatred. And we believe it is possible to build that world by coming together to fight for it.

Who We Are

Indian American Impact is a national 501(c)(4) organization that leverages its unique position as a leading South Asian civic engagement organization in America to endorse values-aligned candidates, advocate for policies that impact disinvested communities, and cultivate a vast network of volunteers and organizers working in policy advocacy and voter turnout.

The Impact Fund is composed of carefully stewarded federal and nonfederal political action committees, and is used to directly support pro-democracy South Asian and values-aligned candidates up and down the ballot, boost grassroots political organizations, and amplify powerful voices in state and federal election cycles.

The South Asian Impact Foundation fosters a culture of civic engagement among South Asian Americans, uniting the diaspora as a force of change to create a more inclusive Democracy and to champion policies that will uplift all historically marginalized communities in the United States.
What We Do
Despite rapid growth and professional success, South Asian Americans have been underrepresented in shaping public policy, including elected office from state capitols to the U.S. Congress. As a result, our community often goes unrecognized in the halls of power.
