Organizational Description:

Korean Resource Center (KRC) was founded in 1983 to empower Korean American
community through a holistic model that combines education and social
services with effective community organizing and policy advocacy.

While KRC has operated for more than 28 years, it did not begin to seek
funding beyond the Korean American community until 1999. For example, KRC
purchased its current home with community donations from literally thousands
of individuals who contributed between $1 to a $1,000. No corporate or
foundation support was sought. Yet, in the late 1990s, as KRC deepened its
work on local issues ranging from health access to immigrant rights, the
organization saw the need to institutionalize its work in order to present a
progressive Korean American voice to larger civil rights and immigrant
rights agenda. In 1999, KRC received a significant grant from the local
foundation enabling it to pay its then volunteer staff. Since that time,
KRC's budget has increased from less than $50,000 to $500,000.

Today, KRC has seven full-time staff and nine full or part-time interns and
program fellows ranging from early twenties to over 65 years of age,
bilingual or proficient in Korean, and all have a deep political commitment
to KRC's mission. KRC is supported by 88 active leaders/volunteers trained
to work in various programs. KRC has 150-membership in six organizing
committees, 450 supporters, 200 dues-paying members, 5,000 campaign
participating members and 11,000 who receive services and assistance
annually.

organization, so KRC can 1) provide needed services for low income and
