Pearl S. Buck International is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization founded by writer, activist and humanitarian Pearl Buck. Pearl S. Buck International headquarters are located on the former estate of Pearl Buck in Bucks County, PA. Domestically, the organization provides guided tours of the Pearl S. Buck House (a National Historic Landmark) to thousands of global visitors annually; offers diversity and inclusion education and training programs for organizations, businesses and schools through the Welcome Workplace program; continues Ms. Buck’s literary legacy through its writing workshops; offers events and exhibits to the community, and manages overseas humanitarian programs that provide aid to marginalized children and their families in South Korea, Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, and China. Organizational StructurePearl S. Buck International operates under the leadership of a President/CEO and a Board of Directors. The day-to-day operations of the organization are carried out by paid staff and a volunteer organization. Pearl Buck left no endowment to fund the future work of her foundation, now Pearl S. Buck International. Therefore, Pearl S. Buck International relies on the financial support of donors, planned giving bequests, and fundraising events[1] to continue to operate and carry out their programs and events. Pearl S. Buck International operates at approximately 86 percent efficiency.[2] Donations are applied to maximize dollars dedicated to programs and minimize administrative expenses. About 86 percent of donations go directly to support the needs of those served with only 14 percent used for administration costs. Awards and AccreditationsPearl S. Buck International has been recognized with many awards and accreditations for its charitable work, transparency, and best practices. This recognition includes:
What Pearl S. Buck International Does[13]Pearl S. Buck International carries on the legacy of Pearl Buck today. The programs at Pearl S. Buck International fall into three categories – intercultural, international, and the Pearl S. Buck House museum. Intercultural Education and Programs[14]In the area of intercultural education, Pearl S. Buck International offers diversity and inclusion training, professional development and consulting, cultural immersion programs and tours, public programs, exhibits, and panel discussions that promote intercultural awareness, understanding, and appreciation. Welcome Workplace[15][16]In 2017, Pearl S. Buck International established Welcome Workplace, a professional development program designed to help organizations, businesses, and schools establish an environment that embraces diversity and inclusion. Certified professionals administer baseline assessments, review assessment outcomes, and facilitate workshops to introduce employers and employees to the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to ensure cultural awareness and better business practices. Global Leadership Program[17]The Global Leadership Program is offered for students from grades 9 through 11 to teach vital skills such as team communication, cultural awareness, creativity, community service, leadership, goal setting, and decision making in a group setting with other teens from differing backgrounds. Participants then work collaboratively on a service project of their choice to benefit Pearl S. Buck International’s mission and work. The Pearl S. Buck House Museum and ToursPearl S. Buck International operates daily tours of Pearl Buck’s former home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania[18]. Pearl S. Buck International currently offers two house tours to visitors: Pearl S. Buck: Taking Action Tour[19], which focuses on Ms. Buck’s activism and human rights advocacy, and the more traditional biographical and historic Pearl S. Buck: Life and Legacy Tour. National Historic Landmark DesignationThe Pearl S. Buck House was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1980. Of 90,000 places listed on the country's National Register of Historic Places, approximately 2,500 are recognized as National Historic Landmarks. As of 2018, there were only 300 National Historic Landmarks dedicated to upholding the legacy of a woman. Of that number, the Pearl S. Buck House is one of only 10 with an intact collection. The property includes a 19th century barn that now houses the Pearl S. Buck International Cultural Center; the Pearl Buck gravesite, the Pearl Buck archives, and the Welcome Center. The Welcome Center houses the headquarters of Pearl S. Buck International; the Exhibit Gallery, which offers a rotating series of complimentary exhibits featuring, art, photography and/or artifacts that relate to the legacy of Pearl S. Buck; and the International Gift Shop, which offers a unique variety of gifts, books, apparel, jewelry, crafts, décor, and more in a boutique-like setting. International Support and Humanitarian AidPearl S. Buck International’s international programs, with the support of child sponsors, focus on providing health, education, livelihood, and psychosocial support to children in need in six Asian countries: South Korea, Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, and China. More than 100,000 children and their families are served each year. Pearl S. Buck International also organizes and raises funds to provide support to disaster recovery and relief in these regions.
