To construct an accurate and comprehensive picture of this national grass-root movement, our team painstakingly combed through primary data (google form submissions and we-chat platform submissions) as well as secondary data (news stories, media interviews, Facebook and Twitter posts). Many secondary sources are used to corroborate or validate primary entries. The result of our ambitious undertaking is an impressive outlook of Chinese Americans’ unwavering patriotism and civic engagement during this historic moment. By April 25th, 2020, CAUFA collected information on 672 Asian-American organizations, including non-profit groups, local businesses and informal groups. Together, these organizations have made roughly $15 million in grass-root donations.
