Overview

Mission

Founded in 2011, the National Organization for Vietnamese American Leadership of Washington DC is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to elevating the Vietnamese American community by professionally developing the next generation of Vietnamese American leaders and preserving and promoting the Vietnamese cultural heritage. We are comprised of professionals who are passionate and committed towards advancing the economic, social and political well-being of the Vietnamese American community. NOVAL-DC hosts and organizes VietFest.

What it reported doing in 2024

The NOVAL-DC Cares Food Distribution program addresses food insecurity in the Vietnamese American Community by distributing food to vulnerable members of the Vietnamese American community in Fairfax County, VA. We distribute food to hundreds of Vietnamese American Seniors at each distribution session.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 94% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
