SAP-VN (Social Assistance Program For Vietnam) is a non-profit, non-governmental and non-religious humanitarian organization based in Garden Grove, California. It was founded in 1992 by a group of young and caring professionals. SAP-VN was incorporated as a charitable corporation by the state of California under franchise tax board section 23701-d of the revenue and taxation. SAP-VN is a tax-exempt, publicly supported organization under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Services. SAP-VN's primary objective is to provide direct relief to poor and needy people, especially orphans and handicapped children, mainly in health care, education and social welfare. All of SAP-VN's relief efforts are carried out directly by SAP-VN's members (from the U.S.) and associates in Vietnam.

Funding for SAP-VN's programs in Vietnam primarily comes from private donations and fundraising proceeds. All donations are tax deductible as permitted by law. Medical supplies are donated by local pharmaceutical corporations, hospitals.

SAP-VN is managed by a board of seven directors who are responsible for planning, making decisions, campaigning for fundings, monitoring activities, and handling all legal matters. A three-member executive committee is responsible for carrying out and following-up on daily activities which has been decided by the board of directors. None of SAP-VN members or volunteers receives salary or compensation.
