New Breath Foundation (NBF) was founded in 2017 by Eddy Zheng, the first formerly incarcerated "juvenile lifer" to lead a national public philanthropic foundation.
Our community-led grantmaking programs and philanthropic advocacy aim to heal and transform Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities directly impacted by mass incarceration, deportation, and systemic violence.
New Breath Foundation provides targeted funds and resources to frontline grassroots organizations while providing essential leadership, support, coordination, and movement-building. NBF disrupts traditional philanthropy by centering grassroots AANHPI leadership and redistributing power imbalances between foundations and nonprofits.
