As a nonprofit institution, the Japanese American National Museum must rely on the generosity of its friends and supporters to meet the cost of providing programs and services, year-round, to hundreds of thousands of local, national, and international visitors.
Thanks to the support of over 60,000 members and donors, the National Museum is able to continue its tradition of excellence in producing exhibitions, public programs, publications and educational materials to preserve and share the Japanese American experience.
The heart of the National Museum is found in its volunteers, a dedicated community of men and women, young and old, who share a commitment to the Museum and its mission by participating in all aspects of the Museum’s operation.
The award-winning Museum Store supports the mission of the Japanese American National Museum by providing unique, cultural merchandise through its on-site location and online store.
Through its facility rental program, the National Museum makes available both its spectacular Pavilion and its landmark Historic Building for corporate, community, or personal events.
Through its planned giving program, the National Museum honors those persons who have arranged a future gift to the Museum. In doing so, they acknowledge the importance of the Museum in preserving the rich heritage and cultural identity of Japanese Americans.
