U.S.-Japan Council (Japan) Operations
The U.S.-Japan Council (Japan) is a Public Interest Corporation (Koeki Zaidan Hojin), which manages and supports programs and activities that enhance personal connections, promote people-to-people ties between Japanese and Americans of all generations, and strengthen educational, cultural, and economic ties and deepen the long-term friendship between Japan and the United States. The core business of the U.S.-Japan Council (Japan) is to establish the foundation of the TOMODACHI Initiative.
The Washington, DC-based U.S.-Japan Council is a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax exempt organization, while the Tokyo-based U.S.-Japan Council (Japan) was a General Incorporated Foundation (Ippan Zaidan Hojin) in 2012, supported by the Keidanren’s Council for Better Corporate Citizenship (CBCC) to provide tax exemption for donors. In 2013, U.S.-Japan Council (Japan) became a Public Interest Corporation (Koeki Zaidan Hojin). Both U.S.-based and Japan-based donors can receive tax deductibility when contributing to the TOMODACHI Initiative via the U.S.-Japan Council or the U.S.-Japan Council (Japan).
The U.S.-Japan Council and the U.S.-Japan Council (Japan) work closely with the U.S. Embassy Tokyo to implement the TOMODACHI Initiative as a public-private partnership. Bolstered by the staff of the U.S. Embassy, U.S.-Japan Council staff in both the United States and Japan conduct program development and oversight, communications and outreach activities, marketing, fundraising, and donor relations.
