In immediate response to the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, the U.S.-Japan Council
created the U.S.-Japan Council Earthquake Relief Fund. The Fund received $350,000 within 24 hours of its
establishment and raised $2,623,034.00 as of July 31, 2012.
The USJC Earthquake Relief Fund was created for both immediate disaster relief and the long-term
rehabilitation of businesses and infrastructure in the Tohoku region. Working with partners in the non-profit
sector to disburse these donations, our supporters have helped make a lasting, meaningful impact on the
people of Tohoku. The U.S.-Japan Council decided to disburse funds primarily to Japanese Non-Profit
Organizations and Non-Governmental Organizations to show support for the growing civil society sector in
Japan.
This report provides a glance at the tremendous work and accomplishments that these organizations have
made in the devastated region. The U.S.-Japan Council is committed to maintaining the strong relationships
forged during the relief and rebuilding process.
