Help us Bring Japan to our Local Communities and Beyond

Your investment in Japan Society strengthens our mission by providing language classes, gallery exhibitions, performances, films, family programs, and lectures to the world.

Global reach, however, starts with local impact.

For example, your support builds bridges through our in-school partnership program. Our education outreach impacts the lives of thousands of New York City school youth’s lives with enriching programming in the realm of US-Japan relations. They, in turn, develop a deeper appreciation for Japanese cultural and recognize the significance of US-Japan relations. Your generosity fosters lifelong advocates and champions of Japanese culture. Thank you for your support.

A Planned Gift Can Make a Lasting Impact

Over the years, many friends have identified themselves as friends who have remembered, or want to remember, Japan Society in their estate plans. In 2023, Japan Society formally launched the John D. Rockefeller 3rd Society – a passionate and committed group of friends and philanthropists who have remembered Japan Society with a planned gift. Your commitment not only strengthens the Society, but has the potential to reduce your taxes and preserve assets.

Rockefeller Society Members join a remarkable community of individuals who will be recognized on the Society’s donor plaque within our landmarked building. As a Member, you and your guests will be invited to attend gallery openings, talks and a dedicated Rockefeller Society annual event to celebrate and connect with others. Contact Greg Corsico at [email protected] for a confidential discussion.
