Help LIN

Thank you for your interest in supporting LIN Center for Community Development! It is because of people like you (donors, volunteers and caring individuals) that LIN is able to work toward our vision of equal opportunities for all people in Vietnam.

Make a difference in your community by:

  • Volunteer - Do you have a few hours a week to support a good cause? Volunteers, with a variety of professional skills, are needed to support LIN and our local not-for-profit partners.
    • Volunteer with LIN - If you would like to support LIN programs and activities (e.g., event organizing, marketing and PR, mailings, etc.), please send an email and a copy of your CV to Volunteer@LINvn.org.  
    • Volunteer with a LIN Partner - Click here to access more information about how LIN matches volunteers and not-for-profit organizations or complete our online Volunteer Registration Form 
  • Donate - As a not-for-profit organization, LIN relies on donations to support our grant making, volunteer matching and research activities. We do not charge local not-for-profit organizations for the services provided and we do not receive government funding. To help us continue to provide these services, please consider making a donation to LIN. There are several ways that you can make a donation to LIN:
    • Cash Contribution - You are always welcome to visit LIN's office during normal working hours to make a cash contribution.  And, if you notify us before arriving, we will prepare your receipt of contribution.
    • Bank/Wire Transfer - LIN Center has both a Vietnam Dong and US Dollar bank account with Vietcombank, which accepts bank transfers. (Please let us know, before or after you made a bank transfer and we will check receipt immediately). Our bank transfer details are provided below:

  • Recommendations & Referrals - LIN helps identify technical and financial resources to support local not-for-profit organizations. Our team works with these organizations to better understand their challenges and identify opportunities where small grants and/or volunteers can make a difference and then we work to identify community resources that can help them meet their needs. Do you know an organization that would benefit from this type of support? If so, please contact us to recommend an NPO.
