The mission of the Zentoku Foundation is to preserve the past for the future.  We are trying to help the Japanese American community newspapers stay alive, in some format.

We need your help!  As we noted in our documentary, Paper Chase, the glue that has connected the Japanese American community through the years, has been the Japanese American community newspapers.   

The Hawaii Herald after 43 years, and the Hawaii Hochi (111 years) announced earlier this month that they will be closing their doors at the end of December.  And we anticipate other JA community newspapers may receive the same sad news very soon.

Please help us morph these communication vehicles into something that can continue to connect the Japanese American community.  

PLEASE HELP US NOW.  PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD...AS WE ARE THANKFUL THAT THEY HAVE KEPT US CONNECTED TO OUR COMMUNITY FOR SO MANY YEARS.

We are a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization. Our Fed ID # is 82-0726844
