 Fundraising
Give a gift for the future of Southeast Asia Studies at Berkeley through the Center for Southeast Asia Studies
The Center for Southeast Asia Studies offers a variety of giving opportunities. Gifts may be used to support the Center's public programs and outreach activities, or may be earmarked to establish endowed chairs or a distinguished professorship for faculty, to develop an endowed lecture series or distinguished scholar program, to fund student fellowships, or to support expanded language instruction.
The Center has established three country-specific funds for donors who would like to focus their support on a particular country within Southeast Asia:
Indonesia Fund: This fund commenced from donations given to the Center in memory of the late John H. Holdridge, former Ambassador to Singapore (1975-78) and Indonesia (1983-86). These funds are used specifically for Indonesia-related programs and activities sponsored by the Center.
Vietnam Fund: This fund was launched in 2005 to spearhead new initiatives in Vietnamese Studies at UC Berkeley. The goal of the fund is to establish an endowment that will support the expansion for Vietnamese Studies on campus over the long term. Funding is sought, in particular, for the following needs:
- To hire additional Vietnamese language instructors and expand course offerings in the Vietnamese language;
- To support the Journal of Vietnamese Studies – a scholarly journal managed by the Centerthat is developing scholarly research on Vietnamese history, culture and society;
- To provide research and travel funds for Berkeley graduate students working in the field of Vietnamese Studies.
Philippines Fund: This fund has been established to support Center programs and events concerning the Philippines. The primary goals are to provide financial resources for a lecture series in the field of Philippine Studies and to support Tagalog language instruction on campus.
Other gifts are directed to the Center’s general fund and are used for a variety of purposes, such as to support special events, graduate student travel, library acquisitions, and curriculum and material development in Southeast Asian language instruction.
All of these gifts help us build on scarce resources to ensure that Southeast Asia Studies remains a vibrant part of the academic life at the University of California, Berkeley, and for students to receive a quality education for both the present and future generations.
