Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Vietnamese American Roundtable (VAR) envisions a strong and unified Vietnamese American community that works towards improving our quality of life. To this end, VAR focuses our mission to organize, advocate, and educate our community. We accomplish this through mobilization, advocacy, and education - mobilization through events and coalition building, advocacy through empowering and strategy, and education through panels, workshops and cultural events.

  • Working Partnerships USA - Worker Education | As a part of the Fair Workplace Collaborative in service of the constituents of Santa Clara County, VAR organized monthly virtual and in person workers rights trainings for underprivileged employees and laborers. These trainings and other educational information provided resources regarding unlawful labor practices and were disseminated to over 2000 constituents over the course of the year

    Expenses $49,745 · Revenue $66,687

  • COVID19 and Community Outreach | Sierra Health/CZI Grant | VAR partnered with a local community health center, along with other community-based organizations, to provide outreach, education, and information regarding COVID-19 testing and vaccination equity. Weekly newsletters and bi-weekly ethnic radio shows were broadcast to distribute updates and information regarding welfare programs, food distribution, EDD/unemployment, and holistic care to community members that reached over 30,000 Facebook views and engagements via social media. As a part of our vaccine and testing equity campaign, we directed 100+ community members to get vaccinated, and distributed over 2000 COVID-19 rapid antigen tests at several cultural events.

    Expenses $40,969 · Revenue $37,478

  • VAR's racial justice projects aim to amplify and uplift the histories, identities, narratives, and experiences of refugees, immigrants, and their descendants against the backdrop of social and racial inequity. The Student Engagement and Education for Development and Success (SEEDS) Summer Youth Program annually hosts 20-30 young local high school and collegiate leaders ages 14-24 to participate in project-based workshops and activities to identify civic and social issues and develop solutions for their communities. The Let's Be Rieu (Let's Be Real) Program is a monthly facilitated conversations on topics of racial justice (anti-AAPI hate, Black Lives Matter, political participation and representation) that has brought together inquiring youth to open up and share their thoughts on contemporary matters relevant to their experiences and identities. Com Gia Dinh is a hybrid anthological project in progress that aims to capture the narratives of community members across generations and languages through food and storytelling. The Com Gia Dinh Project aims to address the adverse impacts of anti-Asian hate and violence by collecting, compiling, and presenting the humanistic experiences of Asian American community members who call San Jose and Santa Clara County home.

    Expenses $55,043 · Revenue $82,000

  • Black April | On April 30, 2021, VAR commemorated the 46th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon virtually on the theme of "Resilience, Renewal, and Representation." Over 4700 people were reached nationwide with 295 engagements and 2000 views of the live stream that was broadcasted on VAR's Facebook and YouTube pages. The program featured community dialogues, artwork, music, keynote speeches, and dance performances by local and national Vietnamese Americans who collectively reflected on our community's shared past"

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
