In 2005, uNAVSA established the annual Collective Philanthropy Project (CPP) to provide a medium for students and youths across North America to join together behind one charitable cause build leaders, relationships and form a foundation for the Vietnamese Community. uNAVSA is proud to present the CPP bid for 2009-2010 to The Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation.

History

The creation of the Collective Philanthropy Project (CPP) originated during the second uNAVSA conference in 2005, in conjunction with the Vietnamese Interacting As One (VIA-1) Conference. The concept of an annual philanthropy campaign came when youth leaders and professionals were in search of a vehicle to  further drive uNAVSA’s mission of developing leaders and regions, networking and a unifying voice outside the conference.

The CPP is an initiative for Vietnamese-student and community organizations to collaborate and partner with in working toward a charitable cause. The idea was to create momentum for a collective national effort under one philanthropic campaign. The CPP campaign assists North American Vietnamese non-profit organizations or philanthropy organizations to better achieve their mission through collective and collaborative partnership with uNAVSA and its constituent groups.
