Support stories for and by the next generation of Asian voices

The next phase of Cold Tea Collective will be to transition from a volunteer-driven organization to a sustainable independent news organization that provides paid career development opportunities for emerging Asian journalists and other media professionals.

To do this, we need your help. We’re looking to raise $15,000 over the next month so we can support our operations and team to keep doing this important work.

With your help, we will also be able to invest resources into new content such as more frequent publishing of articles and our newsletter, new podcast series and videos to tell the stories of our generation. We’d also like to plan events for the community to connect with and learn from one another.
