The Santa Monica Nikkei Hall Fund, housed at the Asian Pacific Community Fund (APCF), has granted $2 million since 2018 to support 22 nonprofit organizations, six of which continue to host the annual Memorial Day Ireito Ceremony held at Woodlawn Cemetery in Santa Monica.
The fund was established at APCF in 2017 after the sale of the Santa Monica Nikkei Hall building to support the organizations in preserving and maintaining the Ireito on behalf of the Santa Monica Nikkei Hall. The Ireito is a 15-foot-high granite memorial monument that was originally erected to honor the Issei who settled in the Bay Cities region of Southern California. Since then, the monument has come to represent all generations of Japanese Americans and especially those who served in the U.S. military.
Additionally, the fund provided grants to local organizations that focus on serving the Asian and Pacific Islander communities as well as programs and services that include physical, mental, and economical health, youth programs, emergency services and leadership development. The fund will continue to support local communities in need until it sunsets.
“With the pandemic these past couple of years, we are glad that through the fund, we were able to provide funding to organizations that specifically provided added care and services to seniors and others in need as the physical and mental health demands of our community changed and increased,” said Chun-Yen Chen, executive director of APCF.
The Santa Monica Nikkei Hall Fund is a “no solicitation” fund. To learn more about the Asian Pacific Community Fund, its programs, services and affiliates, visit www.apcf.org.
