The mission of the funder is to support projects that deepen understanding about Japan, promote cross-cultural exchange, and nurture global perspectives among K-12 students, teachers, and the community in the United States.
The Capacity Building Grant Program focuses on enhancing the Japan America Societies within the NAJAS network, especially during and beyond the pandemic. It encourages capacity building projects that are feasible, promise organizational sustainability, and contribute to growth. With grants of up to $30,000 for up to 12 months, the program supports a range of categories including Fundraising, Strategic Planning, Public Relations Development, Program Development, Membership Development, and Professional Development. These projects aim to increase income, develop long-term goals, raise visibility, engage wider audiences, boost membership, and improve skills relevant to organizational growth and sustainability. The grant covers various costs, including staffing, travel, conference expenditures, and publication-related expenses, allowing for up to 10% of direct costs to be allocated to indirect costs such as rent and administrative expenses.
