What Vietnamese Boat People a Nj Nonprofit Co does
Mission
Vietnamese Boat People (VBP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the stories of the Vietnamese diaspora. Established in 2018, our mission is to amplify these stories, educate and inspire, empower individuals to document their histories, and foster meaningful connections. The organization's name, Vietnamese Boat People, initially paid tribute to the millions of refugees who fled Vietnam by boat. Since then, the organization has evolved and is dedicated to supporting all stories from the Vietnamese diaspora community. Through innovative storytelling, digital archives, and community-driven programs, we provide accessible platforms for communities to engage with these narratives.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $68k to $99k (+46%).
How it's funded, over time

Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
