The 1882 Foundation is a small non-profit based in Washington, DC, focused on broadening public understanding of the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act and its ongoing significance. It pursues this goal through public programming and collaborative projects that connect historical research with community education. Recent activity includes joint events with other Asian American groups, such as a May 2025 trivia night organized in celebration of AANHPI Heritage Month with Tap DC and partners.

Its work targets the general public as well as researchers, genealogists, and cultural organizations seeking context on immigration policy and civil rights history. Through partnerships with museums, educational initiatives, and research projects, the foundation provides opportunities to explore family history and historical narratives. The organization is based in Washington, DC, and operates with a small staff, coordinating across a network of partner groups.
