Giving Opportunity to Support the People of Japan

United Fund of Japan
 

We've all been shocked and moved by the images and stories coming out of Japan following last week's earthquakes, tsunami, and now, nuclear crisis. Conditions are deteriorating, and United Way Worldwide is determined to support the Community Chest of Japan, a part of the United Way worldwide network.

 

We know the Community Chest of Japan has established a fund, but chaos and difficulty inside of Japan are presenting a challenge to them for setting up a website where people can give direct donations. United Way Worldwide is now accepting contributions on our website for the Community Chest of Japan, and the funds will be directed to the Community Chest of Japan through United Way's International Donor Advised Giving (IDAG) program.
