There is a very simple, clear motive behind why people join Viking Charities. The Vikings started as a group of successful businessmen who wanted to be able to give-back to the local community who helped them in their success. If you share the ideal of giving back to the community that supports you, you are an ideal candidate with the right motive. It’s time for you to join and become a Member of Viking Charities. Viking Charities represent a unique and long standing Los Angeles tradition of camaraderie and community support. We have fun, support one another and bring happiness to the lives of physically challenged and disadvantaged children. We are the Southland’s leading charity for disadvantaged children.

Viking Charities is the Southland’s leading charity for disadvantaged children. The Viking Charity Fund Inc. is chartered and organized under the State of California. It is a non-profit, 501.(c)3 This is possible because Viking Charities also raise money through club functions and annual dues. There are no salaries paid to Members or Administrators. Effort, time, expense donation: everything is done by Viking Charities Members who step into the ring and volunteer.

Our by-laws, inspired by our founding philosophy directs our organization to support children’s charities within our local community.
