CONSIDER A YEAR-END GIFT TO MOCA

Dear Friends,

On behalf of the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA), we wish you and your loved ones a safe, happy, and healthy New Year!

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 in 2023.

In order for your gift to be processed and counted toward the 2022 tax year, please note these important dates:

1. Gifts by check must be postmarked no later than December 31, 2022.

2. Online gifts must be made by 11:59 PM on December 31, 2021.

We're grateful for you and appreciate your help in making MOCA the place where all local, national and global visitors come together for courageous conversations.
