Collective Philanthropy Project
The CPP is an initiative created in 2004 for Vietnamese-American student and community organizations to collaborate toward a charitable cause. CPP’s goal is to further UNAVSA’s mission of networking, developing leadership, preserving the Vietnamese heritage, and creating a unified national effort to help those in need. Each year, the top three candidates are asked to present their projects at the UNAVSA national conference. After the attendees vote, a beneficiary is announced at the conference banquet. In years past, CPP has worked with organizations such as MEMO (2012), Children of Vietnam (2011), Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation (2010), Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation (2009), VIETHOPE (2008), VOICE (2007), The Catalyst Foundation (2006), and VietAct (2005) and has raised over $300,000 over the last seven years.
