About La San Foundation
La San Foundation is a Texas 501(c)(3) public charity (IRS ruling year 2012) that operates community education and youth programs serving the Vietnamese-American community in Cypress and the greater Houston area. The foundation is affiliated with the La Salle Sisters/De La Salle Educational Center in Cypress and runs programs including early childhood care, Vietnamese language instruction, and a Vietnamese Lasallian Youth Troupe. La San Foundation conducts recurring cultural and service events (e.g., Vietnamese New Year celebrations, family days, and seasonal packing drives for disadvantaged children in Vietnam and Cambodia) and is active as a local, donor-facing nonprofit with an online presence through the Lasalle Cypress site.
The organization’s activities emphasize cultural education, community service, and leadership training for children and teens. Board membership and program leadership are drawn from the local Vietnamese Catholic La Sallian community, and the foundation’s programs have been continuously offered through the La Salle/La San program platform in recent years.
