Your Hong Bao, Your Investment.

Spread good luck and give the gift of propsperity this Lunar New Year

Originating in Chinese culture, hong bao (红包) are red envelopes that are given during holidays, social gatherings, and other special occasions. Their bold red color symbolizes good luck, while the gesture of giving them to someone represents community support and hospitality.

In honor of this age-old tradition and in celebration of the National Association for Black Engagement with Asia (NABEA) becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we invite you to extend this warm tradition by investing in NABEA’s future.

Join us in our goal to raise $2,000 over the next two weeks—by February 8, 2025. Your contributions will empower our community and expand our programs.

Every red envelope counts! Donate today.
