Mission
Promote a better understanding, communication and fellowship between the general public and the organizations promoting community service to families of japanese ancestry.
What it reported doing in 2024
Statue: this program is to raise funds to construct a statue in mile square park, fountain valley, ca. This statue will depict the history of the japanese american community in the united states. This statue will be added to the already built statues of ronald reagan, vietnam's 13th century general, tran hung dao, and mexico's revolutionary priest, miguel hidalgo. Because of covid-19 this program was put on hold until futher notice.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
