Overview

Mission

Friendship Japan and the U.S.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Societys mission is to work toward fostering and promoting stronger ties of friendship and understanding between the U.S. and Japan.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 81% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
