planned giving

Samurai dollThe vision of the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California began with individuals from our Nikkei community who believed in providing for the future of our community and generations to follow. It started with people like yourself from all walks of life, pooling their gifts and contributions to help raise funds to build the center and fund programs which would serve our community.

The following instruments can be used to help maintain the legacy of the community. We recommend that donors consult their legal and financial advisors before participating in the planned giving program.
