On March 12, 2011, Japan Society created the Japan Earthquake Relief Fund, a disaster relief fund to aid victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake. One hundred percent of your tax-deductible contributions to the Japan Earthquake Relief Fund go to organizations that directly help victims of the March 11 disaster. Japan’s recovery is expected to take five years or more. With this in mind, Japan Society is working to gauge the long-term needs of those affected by the disaster with the goal of supporting organizations that will contribute to continuing recovery and reconstruction. As long as individuals, corporations and foundations show interest in supporting the recovery and reconstruction process in Japan, Japan Society will keep the Japan Earthquake Relief Fund open for contributions. As we have seen in the past in places like the Gulf Coast in the United States and in Haiti, the need is great not just in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, but also in the longer-term recovery and reconstruction process.
