ABIRC is a non-profit organization that offers FREE technical assistance to Asian business owners in the Central Valley such as help with filling out business forms, finding grant or loan opportunities, connecting businesses to resources, and much more. ABIRC’s mission is to support and promote strong networks of Asian business owners in the Central California region. The essence of ABIRC as an organization, whose mission was to assist Asian business owners, began in 2008 through a series of community meetings funded by Citibank and Wells Fargo. Topics of interest for the Asian community included access to resources, business and financial plans, marketing assistance, non-traditional loans, workshops conducted in various languages, networking, advocacy for small businesses, certifications for various contractual opportunities, and other means of building capacity within the Asian business community. By March of 2009, ABIRC was launched as a non-profit with backing from Wells Fargo. Since its startup, ABIRC has provided essential networking for the Southeast Asian Community through programs such as the first Hmong Cohort in the Central Valley, fundraisers for local schools, and partnerships with local non-profit organizations. Our work has extended throughout ten counties—Fresno, Butte, Madera, Merced, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Sutter, Tulare, and Yuba County.In 2020, many farmers and businesses experienced devastating losses, in terms of business and revenue, due to market shutdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. ABIRC played a major role in uplifting these farmers and businesses by providing resources and working to help them apply for grants and loans. As of June 2021, we have reached $1.85 million in funding. The number is expected to rise as more applications are still being processed and waiting to finalize.Follow our social media and website to stay updated about what we are currently doing!
