Donate to Help Keep Our Histories Alive!
Thank you for expressing interest in donating to the Viet Stories: Vietnamese American Oral History Project! Although Viet Stories is housed on the UCI campus, we are a self-funding project that relies on generous private donations like yours to continue the important and urgent work that we do. The efforts of collecting, processing, and digitizing our stories and histories to preserve for future generations and to make it free and open to the public is costly. We need your financial support to cover transcription and translation services, free workshops and curriculum development for K-12 and college students and teachers, and to remember and honor our sacrifices and survival stories.
100% of your tax-deductible contributions go directly to collect our stories and educate the public about our histories, including paying for staff salary. This non-profit project relies on private and community donations and if we create a $2.3 million endowment, we can sustain this project in perpetuity, operating on an annual budget of $100,000. With your help at any giving level, we can reach our goal!
All donations are handled through the UC Irvine School of Humanities and are all tax-deductible through the UCI Foundation.
The UCI Foundation is the overall 501(c)(3) non-profit entity representing the entirety of the University of California, Irvine. While the foundation helps us by processing donations (and empowering you to claim a tax-deductible donation), Viet Stories is responsible for raising all its own funds to continue our mission of preserving the Vietnamese American story and educating students and community members in Orange County and beyond.
