Japan Society is an American nonprofit organization supported by individuals, foundations and corporations, that brings the people of Japan and the United States closer together through mutual understanding, appreciation and cooperation. More than a hundred years after the Society's founding, its goal remains the same—the cultivation of a constructive, resonant and dynamic relationship between the people of the U.S. and Japan.
After the earthquake and tsunami in japan, no one was prepared for the dire situation on the ground. I found Japan Society to be the most trustworthy of all the organizations through which funnel my donations. So far, all their donations have been committed to four nonprofit organizations in Japan—the Tokyo Volunteer Network for Disaster Relief, JEN, Entrepreneurial Training for Innovative Communities (ETIC), and the Japan NPO Center—all on the front lines of relief and recovery in Tohoku.
