Consider a gift to MOCA today!
Dear MOCA Friends,
For 42 years, MOCA has been an inclusive, safe space that champions the precious yet less known and celebrated journeys of Americans of Chinese ancestry. MOCA has faced multiple crises since 2020: a 5-alarm fire at 70 Mulberry Street that nearly destroyed its archives, the coronavirus pandemic that led to temporarily shuttering the Museum’s physical space, the resurgence of racism against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and heightened tensions between the U.S. and China creating fear and instability within Chinese American communities. Through it all, MOCA has pivoted, adapted, and risen to each challenge. Thank you for your encouragement and support.
WE CELEBRATE EVERY GIFT
We celebrate every gift and every philanthropist, no matter the size. Philanthropy is voice. Gifts to the Annual Fund go where they are needed most, enabling MOCA to stay true to its mission by providing an inspiring visitor experience. Your tax-deductible donation will:
- Allow MOCA to continue creating MOCA Heroes, the Museum’s free, downloadable educational magazines about Chinese American heroes such as Jerry Yang and Tyrus Wong. Take a peak at current magazines targeted to 4th-8th graders on Yung Wing, Chinese Railroad Workers, and Maya Lin.
- Allow MOCA to continue hosting weekly educational activities, and week-long virtual and in-person family festivals such as Lunar New Year Family Festival, Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival.
- Allow MOCA to continue organizing public programs and performing arts programs, such as MOCA TALKS and MOCA Immersive Dinner and Show Double Happiness.
- Allow MOCA to continue offering FREE admission.
MOCA’s work is urgently needed now more than ever. If you are moved by MOCA’s 42-year journey, we hope you’ll consider making a gift to support our Annual Fund and become part of a continuing lifeline for MOCA. Your generosity is critical to MOCA’s future. Your donation is 100% tax-deductible, and every dollar (or crypto) goes towards strengthening MOCA’s core mission. Your contribution will help sustain our beloved institution and supports the creation of new programming that will bring comfort and inspiration to more communities.
With sincere gratitude,
Nancy Yao, President, and the MOCA Team
