Care Fund has been established to provide assistance and services for Japanese and Japanese-Americans who reside in the Washington Metropolitan area. It was incorporated as a non-profit organization (NPO) in October 2000.  In caring for a Japanese woman who was dying of lung cancer and could not get help from other sources made us realize the importance of an organization that provides support and services for such people.

Regardless of how long you have been living in the United States or how old you are, you may wish to consult or explain in Japanese when you encounter various problems in daily life here.  To meet such needs, the Care Fund was created to maintain a Japanese language telephone help-line and provide necessary information and various services. The Care Fund hopes to be a catalyst for developing a local network of mutual help among the Japanese and Japanese Americans living in the area.
