What it says it does

Malaysian Club of Chicago is hosting the annual Asian American Coalition of Chicago (AACC) celebration. This event addresses all Asian communities to a banquet event. What binds us together is in part of our Asian heritage that we want to lead a life that our families can be proud of without economic anxiety and with both social and economic social mobility. We are driving these communities represented to hold our head high and proclaim the readiness to live both our American identity and Asian identity, a coexistent in harmony and success in our American dream. Yearly, AACC awards outstanding individuals, youths and adults for their success and contribution to our communities and our nation, a representation that are not recognized enough. Attendees include key community leaders and politicians including Illinois Governors, Senators and Congressman (Federal and State level). This charitable event addresses the importance of Asian representation in our community.

Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
