Thank you for visiting the Quiet Voice Fund!  My name is Alex Wong and I’m a musician and human who dreams of living in a more equitable world.  

The Quiet Voice Fund shares its name with one of my songs, written around a simple idea: our voices don’t have to be LOUD to be strong.  I believe that true power doesn’t come from being aggressive, selfish or dominating, but rather from the courage to be authentic and empathic, and to speak for those who can’t.  The fund supports incredible organizations and people who embody this belief as they fight every day for the most vulnerable among us, through education, individual empowerment, and community strengthening.  The supported organizations will change periodically but will always share this common set of principles.  

Because the elderly Asian community has recently come under attack, with a 150% increase in anti-Asian crime in the last year alone, TQVF is currently supporting organizations working to offer immediate aid to this vulnerable group while fostering solidarity between Black and Asian communities.

This has been a dream of mine for a long time, but to be honest, there was a voice inside my head saying I needed to be Bruce Springsteen or Michelle Obama before I could have “permission” to start.  But if the pandemic has taught me anything, it is these three words: DO IT NOW.  I realized I wouldn’t be helping anyone by putting off this work until I was rich and famous, so here we go!

I hope you’ll join me as I experiment with and learn what this fund can become.
I’m definitely still a student here, so I welcome any feedback on how to make
this page as effective as possible.  

I’m so grateful you’re here.

Much love,
Alex Wong
