2011 Japan Relief Fund

On the morning of Friday, March 11, the 2011 Japan Relief Fund was created by the Japan America Society of Southern California to help provide critical funds to the victims of Japan’s worst natural disaster, the massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake and the resulting tsunami waves. The earthquake and tsunami have caused incomprehensible damage, leaving tens of thousands of people confirmed dead, injured or missing, and millions more affected by lack of electricity, water, transportation and/or shelter.

Simply put, the devastation is too much for any country to deal with alone. And now it is our turn to help them.

All donations to the 2011 Japan Relief Fund will be forwarded to experienced non-governmental disaster relief agencies in Japan that have a proven track record of emergency humanitarian relief and restoration and development of destroyed areas.

The Japan America Society of Southern California was founded in 1909 to build economic, cultural, governmental and personal relationships between the people of Japan and America and is a 501(c)(3) educational and charitable organization. Accordingly, donations to the 2011 Japan Relief Fund should qualify for charitable contribution tax deduction.
