2023年8月14日 -- 全美亚太裔美国商会（National Asian/Pacific Islander American Chamber of Commerce & Entrepreneurship）宣布，"亚太裔餐厅基金"（AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund）将进入第三年，以支持由亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民（AAPI）拥有的独立餐厅。

由于该行业面临着持续的经济挑战，这笔资金将使亚裔餐馆老板能够通过改善基础设施、电子商务和技术、员工福利和简化运营等发展思路，使其业务更上一层楼。最终，将帮助亚太裔企业家扩大业务规模，保障他们的未来，并通过营造安全、愉悦的聚会场所来回馈社区生活。

全美范围内符合条件的餐厅均可申请 15,000 美元的补助金，而大奖将在 2023年10月12-13日在拉斯维加斯举行的全国 ACE #AAPISTRONG 年会上现场颁发，最高奖金可达 50,000 美元。

多年来，亚太裔餐厅基金已为全国 270 多家亚太裔拥有的餐馆提供了支持，帮助他们维持和扩大业务。餐厅在社区中发挥着至关重要的作用，Grubhub 致力于帮助他们对所服务的人群和社区产生积极的影响。

The AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund is designed to benefit Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander-owned restaurants across the country. With the industry facing ongoing economic challenges, the AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund is available to help under-resourced restaurants respond to supply chain disruptions, increased inventory costs, workforce development, and safety for their employees.

The funding will allow AAPI restaurateurs to take their business to the next level through development ideas such as infrastructure improvements, e-commerce and technology, employee benefits, and operations streamlining. Ultimately, this will help AAPI entrepreneurs to scale their businesses, secure their futures, and also give back to the life of their neighborhoods by fostering safe and enjoyable places to gather.

With over $4 million in funding awarded to nearly 270 AAPI businesses over the past 2 years, the AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund continues to uplift the hard work and dedication of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander restaurant owners. The AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund is made possible by the Grubhub Community Fund.
