We believe we are all part of a global community. Something bigger than any of us. Fair Trade Safaris’ primary focus is to help African communities, and our friends at the Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce focus on driving local economic growth for businesses with ties to Asia and Asian Americans through advocacy, connections, and education. We are all doing our part to make the world a better place, together.

Together we raised $40,000 from selling 3 safari packages at the live auction during their Ovation event! Each year, GAACC celebrates businesses and organizations who have contributed to the region’s economic success and toasts APA individuals and organizations who have achieved uncommon success and/or are working to make the Austin community a better place.

The raised money will go towards recruiting new members who would most benefit from our services but would not otherwise be able to pay. These funds will also go towards organizing many community resources, such as networking events, informational webinars, and more for local businesses with ties to the Asian community.

Furthermore, they will contribute towards launching new initiatives to spotlight, such as their Asians of Austin storytelling campaign, their Helping Hands program, and their new Asian Economic Summit.
