Dear ASIJ Community,
Thank you! The ASIJ Fund achieved outstanding results last year and your gifts are the reason. Your generosity yielded a significant increase in the total yen/dollar contributions from our entire community. New initiatives such as Giving Tuesday and matching gifts for new donors, increased participation across our generous community.
Many of you are named on the following pages for your contributions to the ASIJ Fund, which go to support the School’s operating budget and the many programs which help ASIJ be a defining moment in the lives of our students. Funds raised last year helped support the development of our SEL curriculum (social and emotional learning), us secure additional counselors in our elementary and high school programs, create opportunities for students to interact with visiting authors and make professional development opportunities available for faculty. Students are better prepared for the future through your philanthropic contributions which directly impact their experience at ASIJ.
Your gifts of time, talent and treasure have blended together to create a powerful impact that enriches our school community and accelerates our efforts to be an outstanding educational institution. Your willingness to donate is a testament to your passion for ASIJ and the impact the school has on your lives. With your continued support, we can strive to provide the outstanding educational experience needed by today’s students and the students of the future.
This year we are extremely grateful for the expansion of our Endowment Fund through a ¥100 million commitment from the ASIJ PTA. We thank the PTA for spotlighting the need to grow our endowment, and we look forward to an increased focus of this area in the future.
Your efforts to give each and every year is greatly appreciated. Each of your gifts helps us go further.
Warmest regards,
Mary Margaret Mallat Interim Director of Advancement

ASIJ Announces ¥100 Million Endowment Gift
On May 23, ASIJ received a gift of ¥100 million to its endowment from the PTA. The gift was announced at the annual donor reception held at Meiji Kinenkan, with several former PTA Presidents in attendance. “This donation is the result of thousands of volunteer hours and ASIJ’s PTA is one of the most supportive of any school I have experienced,” Jim Hardin, Head of School, stated in his remarks. "The PTA is an integral part of the ASIJ community and this gift will provide a significant boost to ASIJ’s finances," he continued.
ASIJ is currently looking to build its endowment through outreach to alumni, corporations, and parents, with the objective of reducing ASIJ’s dependence on tuition. “Building our endowment is one of ASIJ’s most important strategic objectives over the next few years, I am grateful for the PTA’s leadership in kick-starting this effort,” said Bob Noddin, Chair of ASIJ’s Board of Directors and Trustees.
If you are interested in making a gift to the endowment, please contact the Advancement Office at donate@asij.ac.jp or see the enclosed gift envelope.

A New Way to Give
ASIJ can now accept gifts in Bitcoin and tech entrepreneur Brian Nelson ’85 was our first donor to give in cryptocurrency. Brian, who is currently senior advisor in Japan to the Kelly Slater Wave Company, explains his choice to donate in Bitcoin and why he gives to ASIJ.
You are our first donor to give to ASIJ using cryptocurrency! We are excited to have this donation option and we would like to share your story with the community to encourage more donors to support ASIJ the same way. I agree it is exciting to have this option for ASIJ donors. When I first heard about the option I wanted to try it, so I could understand the process.
What brought your parents to Tokyo? My father ran IBM in Asia from 1983 to 1988; and I believe made the decision to help build and fund a portion of the middle school.
What were you involved with when you were a student at ASIJ? Varsity football, Varsity basketball (including the Far East tournament and the Hong Kong tournament), charity drives, making yakisoba during school events, cheering on other ASIJ athletes, and participation in general school events (e.g. Kyogen, etc.)
How did you first become interested in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency? When did you first invest? I started hearing about crypto currency in 2016, roughly seven or eight years after Satoshi Nakamoto launched Bitcoin (BTC).
Have you made other donations using Bitcoin/other cryptocurrency to any other non-profits? I have only given to ASIJ at this time, as that is my main focus for donating, as I attended the school and as did my two sons Sean ’14 and Brad ’16.
How easy was it to give to ASIJ using Bitcoin? It was very easy. I was able to use Bitpay to make a taxdeductible gift to ASIJ through Give2Asia.
Why would you recommend giving to ASIJ in Bitcoin? I’d recommend it due to the ease of donating, because it’s an additional choice for how to donate, to provide more use cases for cryptocurrency as that helps the industry, and of course the most important reason, to donate to ASIJ. It is also good for students to see what is possible and how ASIJ is a leader in technology and innovation.
Why do you give to ASIJ? As a graduate of ASIJ, I continually donate to help the school cover future costs, as tuition does not cover all the costs the school has for providing the best education possible. Both of my sons attended ASIJ from nursery/kindergarten through to the eighth and tenth grades respectively; before moving to Hawaii and then later attending college in America. So as an alum and former ASIJ parent it makes sense to me, to keep giving back to ASIJ. Now we have another way to do that, using cryptocurrency.

The Gate Society is ASIJ’s giving society for those who have arranged a planned gift.
One option is to make a bequest in your will or living trust. You simply name ASIJ (or in the USA, “Give2Asia/ASIJ) as the beneficiary. You can pledge a fixed amount or a percentage of your estate.
A bequest allows you to: • Make a gift to ASIJ. • Provides you with continued access to your wealth. • Gives you the flexibility to change your mind. • Eases any concerns about outliving your resources. • Provides estate tax deduction. • Creates a lasting legacy at ASIJ.
Planned giving is easy!
