Montagnard Foundation, Inc. (Vietnamese: Tổ chức Quỹ người Thượng) is an anti-communist organization that is protecting the rights of the Montagnard people. It is a non-profit organization, founded in 1990 and based in South Carolina (USA), that has spoken out against the communist government of Vietnam's polices that affect the Montagnard people.
During the Vietnam War it is estimated that some 40,000 Montagnards served with the US military as scouts, interpreters and soldiers. American Vietnam veterans have numerous stories describing the heroism and loyalty these people had with their American comrades. By some assessments, over 200,000 Montagnards perished during the conflict [1].
The Montagnard Foundation is led by exiled leader Kok Ksor who is a member of Transnational Radical Party and has brought the alleged persecution of the Montagnard people to the platform of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation.
The Foundation's goal is to protect the rights, preserve the lives and the culture of the Montagnard people through peaceful means and not in an independent state.
