"For 20 years, JCF has specialized in providing medical aid to radiation disaster victims, with a special emphasis on helping children. It is a reputable charitable organization and one of only a small number of nonprofit organizations granted official NPO status by the Japanese National Tax Agency.
"More complete information, including an explanation of how a portion of contributions may qualify as a tax- deductible gift in Japan, is available on JCF's Japanese-language page. English-language information is also available.
