TOP Vietnam Veterans continues to support
existing projects and plans to broaden its reach. Donations help expand
our services to veterans, their families, surviving families, and the
Vietnamese people. TOP Vietnam Veterans depends on the support
of individuals, corporations, and organizations to help carry out its many
services and programs.

TOP Vietnam Veterans is a nonprofit
operating foundation, and your donations may be tax deductible (consult
your tax advisor). Your financial gift directly supports the
programs of your choice.

Nine Ways You Can Help Support
TOP Vietnam Veterans
TOP Vietnam Veterans relies on donations
from corporations and individuals to support its programs. Here are some
ways you can make a difference:
1. Donate to TOP.
You can specify which program feels closest to your heart, and your cash
donation will go to that program. Donations to our Humanitarian program go
a very long way in Vietnam. Useful in-kind donations are: toothbrushes,
first aid supplies, hotel soaps and shampoos, SMALL size T-shirts, pencils
and pens, combs, and suitcases used for transporting these items. Items
should be new or nearly new condition. Please send them to our TOP
office--we do not pick up. Ask your friends, your dentist, doctor, and
your work place to donate. Talk to your child's teacher about supporting a
"sister" classroom in Vietnam.
2. Adopt a coin box.
TOP thanks the businesses that allow us to place coin boxes in their
stores and restaurants. In addition, a special thanks to the volunteers
who adopt a box and monitor it at various stores and restaurants. If you
would like to adopt a box, please ask TOP, and we will arrange to have it
sent to you.
3. Select TOP as your employee-giving program.
Talk to your fellow workers about making donations to TOP, and ask your
employer about matching your gifts. Some donors wish to deduct a regular
amount from their paycheck. TOP can coordinate this with your payroll
department.
4. Leave a legacy.
Designating TOP as a beneficiary in your will is a way to continue your
good will beyond your lifetime.
5. Honor a friend or relative.
Give meaningful birthday, anniversary, and special events day gifts to
family and friends by contributing to any program on their behalf. TOP
sends them a special acknowledgment that a gift was made in their honor.
6. Memorialize a friend or relative.
We have had people remember those who have passed on by encouraging
friends and relatives to send a donation to TOP in memory of the deceased
loved one. This is especially poignant when remembering veterans and
family members of veterans.
7. Sponsor a veteran or family member on a trip.
Your contribution of a Tour of Peace can
help a vet's family to become healthy and whole. This is the ultimate gift
to a veteran who has served his/her country, or to a family member
affected by their loved one's war experience.
8. Sponsor a humanitarian project or person.
Adopt a school, orphanage, leprosy
village, ethnic minority village, elderly home-we have some special
projects and people we revisit that need ongoing help. You might be
surprised at how little it costs to fund a project, and help people who
need it. Please contact us so we can arrange to have your donations go
toward a specific project you feel close to. In return, you will receive
pictures and updates on the project or person you are sponsoring.
9. Spread the word.
Tell your friends about TOP and our web site. Send us addresses and
e-mails of interested friends or relatives for our database. The more
people we can reach, the more we can do.
Donations of any amount are appreciated
and make a difference in the lives of all who benefit from our programs.
TOP cannot continue to do all that it does without your help. All
donations are tax deductible.
