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.

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 to better achieve their mission through collective and collaborative fundraising with UNAVSA.
