About INSTITUTE FOR CIVIC EDUCATION IN VIETNAM

The Institute for Civic Education in Vietnam (ICEVN) is a Houston-based nonprofit (founded October 2005) that delivers civic education, entrepreneurship and leadership development programming to Vietnamese audiences in Vietnam and the diaspora. ICEVN maintains an online library of translated works in political theory, leadership and civil society and offers online and in-person courses and train‑the‑trainer programs.

This profile was compiled after verifying the organization's EIN (20-3324648) against publicly available Form 990 filings and nonprofit registries and cross-checking the organization’s own website and recent activity. In the last 2–3 years ICEVN has continued program delivery and public events (including a 20th anniversary event in 2025 and public programming into 2026) and reported revenue and filings through fiscal year ending August 2024.
