PESI was founded in 1988 by a group of professionals and educators
from the Los Angeles area. We are registered in the State of California
and with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) non-profit
education service organization.
We are dedicated to international development through educational
exchange and professional service. As a non-profit organization founded
by Chinese Americans, we are especially interested in promoting
understanding and cooperation among the United States, China and other
Asian countries.
Committed to professional excellence and Christian principles of
service, PESI offers a diverse portfolio of programs in higher
education, professional training and cultural exchange. Our vision is
to contribute to leadership development in Asia. While we uphold
faith-based values in our organization, we do not propagate religious
doctrines in our programs.
The great majority of PESI's funding comes from individual
contributions, which are tax deductible for our donors. We also receive
some grants from businesses, churches and foundations.
