Monthly Giving: Small Gifts Grow Into Big Benefits

What’s ‘Monthly Giving’ and why should I consider it?

Monthly Giving is exactly what it sounds like — giving monthly donations to the charity you’re most passionate about. 

Monthly donations play an essential part in helping Nikkei Place continue to enrich our community. When you give monthly, you provide us with a reliable and constant source of funding. This enables us to better forecast and budget the ways we can support the community, keep costs down, and strengthen donor relationships. When we know there are resources we can count on, big things can become a reality for our community.

It’s a great option for individuals who want to give back in small ways, and still make a lasting difference. Your small contributions can grow into big benefits for both you and our community. Here’s how!

Donor Spotlight: Frank H. Hori Charitable Foundation

Thank you to the Frank H. Hori Charitable Foundation

Nikkei Place Foundation graciously thanks the Frank H. Hori Charitable Foundation for their generous donation to our community this year! We are happy to share with you a letter from the Trustees of the Frank H. Hori Charitable Foundation, and the biography of Frank Hori. Learn about their philanthropic endeavours, and about the person who started it all.

Frank Hiroshi Hori

(February 2, 1927 – April 15, 2011)

Frank was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, to Haruye and Zenya Hori, originally from Shiga-ken, Japan. They were merchants of Japanese goods on Powell Street, at the centre of the city’s Nikkei (Japanese) community. Frank and his seven siblings grew up in a home filled with love, warmth, and the camaraderie of family and many Japanese friends.

During the war, the Hori family was sent to the Slocan Internment Camp (Bay Farm) for
a two-year period, where Frank attended a makeshift school. Eventually the family relocated to Regina, where he attended Regina College before moving to Montreal. He attended McGill University from 1951 to 1954, studying business and accounting.

Frank always remembered the funding support provided by his siblings towards his post-secondary studies.

Frank launched his 30-year career with Premium Forest Products, a Toronto-based door manufacturer, which was renamed Premdor Inc. when Frank and partners purchased the company. In 1986, Frank was instrumental in leading the company to public ownership with eventual international opportunities. He retired as Executive Vice-President and CFO of Premdor Inc. and as Vice-Chairman and Director of its subsidiary, Masonite International.

Frank was a highly proficient individual with a stellar acumen for business.

During his retirement, Frank acquired various real estate properties and became
a world traveller and a philanthropist with a deep passion for his cultural roots and heritage.

In 1999, Frank established The Frank H. Hori Charitable Foundation to promote charitable endeavours in general but mainly those aligned with his philanthropic ideals for Japanese culture: a caring society; post-secondary learning; and the honouring of meritorious Canadians of Japanese ancestry for their contributions to Canada.

The Frank H. Hori Charitable Foundation: Letter from the Trustees

In 1999, The Frank H. Hori Charitable Foundation was established to promote charitable endeavours in general but mainly those aligned with his philanthropic ideals for Japanese culture: a caring society; post-secondary learning; and the honouring of meritorious Canadians of Japanese ancestry for their contributions to Canada.

We the trustees of The Frank H. Hori Charitable Foundation are honoured to have been chosen by Mr. Hori for our various skills, acumen and personal philosophies towards his many passions and interests.

Our commitment and assurances to Frank that his philanthropic endeavours will continue to be supported along with the development of new programs are paramount.

The efforts to abide by our foundation charter and the diligence in preforming our research into all venues before we commit and support all programs are essential to ensure suitable sponsorship and funding can occur.

The responsibility of trustee to The Frank H. Hori Charitable Foundation is not only an honour but a serious position which we value and protect, and look forward to serving this foundation for many years.

Nikkei Legacy Project

Gathering Oral Histories

Nikkei Place Foundation recently received a generous New Horizons for Seniors grant for the Nikkei Legacy Project. We are happy to share with you a little more detail about this upcoming initiative. 

The goal of this project is to gather oral histories from founding leaders of Nikkei Place, in order to create a record of understanding surrounding the challenges and successes of creating a culturally specific campus like Nikkei Place. 

We will be interviewing founding leaders, and compiling personal historical accounts of the community efforts made by our Japanese Canadian elders. Individuals will be asked to recount the challenges and successes in the early days of establishing Nikkei Place, as well as its commitment to senior care.

From these interviews, we will draw out the distinctive strengths of the programming and senior care found at Nikkei Place. We will document these best practices so that other ethnically or culturally specific societies and communities can learn and adapt from our experiences, and establish their own unique programming and senior care that addresses the needs of their communities. 

Stay tuned for more updates!

Minister Tassi Visits with Seniors at Robert Nimi Nikkei Home

Nikkei Place Foundation recently received $24,000 in grant funding through the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP). Through the Nikkei Legacy Project, we will purchase recording equipment to conduct interviews with Japanese Canadian seniors, in order to document their knowledge and experiences about their history and origins.

On Monday, July 8, the Honourable Filomena Tassi, Minister of Seniors, was welcomed on a visit to Robert Nimi Nikkei Home by Nikkei Legacy Project leader Naomi Kawamura, Executive Director at Nikkei Place Foundation, as well as partners at Nikkei Seniors Health Care and Housing Society, Cathy Makihara, Executive Director, and Ruth Coles, President of the Board. Her visit included meeting seniors, and sitting in on programs — seeing first-hand the positive impact that this grant will have in the lives of seniors at Nikkei Place. 

"We continue to build on measures that will improve the lives of Canadian seniors. In Budget 2019 our government made key investments that will help seniors enjoy a smooth transition into a financially secure, healthy and socially inclusive retirement. Through the New Horizons for Seniors Program, we are taking more steps to empower seniors by supporting opportunities where they can benefit from and contribute to the quality of life in their communities."

– The Honourable Filomena Tassi, Minister of Seniors

What's 'Planned Giving' anyway?

Planned Giving in a Nutshell

Simply put, “Planned Giving” means creating a charitable gift now that will go to a charity you care about in the future — usually once you pass away.

It’s “planned” because it is the type of gift that is designated in your Will, and involves both consideration of your financial situation, and preparation, usually with a lawyer and financial advisor.

Why should I consider Planned Giving?

Planned Giving can get you thinking about the future, and the legacy you will leave once you’re gone. You may start to ask yourself “What type of world do you want to pass on to future generations?” and “How do I want to be remembered?” .

Increased Impact

Making a planned gift in your Will gives you the opportunity to give the gift of a lifetime to a causes you believe in. It allows you to leave a larger gift that may not be possible during your lifetime, while still remaining in control of your assets. In doing so, you can make a lasting impact on the type of world you would like to pass on to future generations.

Tax Benefits

Because of Canada’s tax regulations, a planned gift may provide substantial tax relief for you now or for your estate later.

Some people believe that giving to a charity will diminish the amount they are able to leave to their kids and loved ones. However, because of Canada’s tax regulations, you can give money to a charity that would otherwise be given to Canada Revenue Agency in taxes.

Continued Goodwill

After providing for your loved ones, your Will enables you to continue to help others. When a charity receives a planned gift, it can allow them to use it for something special — something that would not be possible otherwise. It can ensure your compassion for others will live on.

A Legacy of Your Own

You will be remembered as someone who helps the Nikkei community preserve and share history, heritage, and culture for future generations, and a better Canada.

Get the Facts

Learn more about the benefits of making a planned gift by downloading our Planned Giving Factsheet to help you get started, or visit our Planned Giving page.

Spring Update: Letter From Our Executive Director

Dear Friends of Nikkei Place,

It’s been an exciting spring so far at Nikkei Place – and there’s even more on the horizon!

In March, we celebrated Nikkei heroes at our annual Thomas Shoyama Gala, and raised funds for the Nikkei Place Foundation. On this night, we presented Kaye Kaminishi of the historic Vancouver Asahi baseball team with the Thomas Shoyama Lifetime Achievement Award, for helping bridge racial divides through the game of baseball. We also recognized Shig and Akemi Hirai (owners of Fujiya and other businesses) for over three decades of entrepreneurial success and their immense generosity to the community. I also had the pleasure to award the Foundation’s 2018-19 Nikkei Youth Bursary Award to the Shin-Asahi baseball team as they embarked on a tour of Japan (read all about their trip here!)

I am happy to share with you that the Nikkei Place Foundation was recently awarded a federal “Employment and Social Development Canada” grant, which will help fund projects aimed at expanding the social participation of seniors at our charity. Stay tuned for more information about this new initiative!

Other exciting things include the 14th annual Nikkei Place Charity Golf Tournament, which happened on May 31st in support of Nikkei Seniors Health Care and Housing Society, and the public re-opening of the Nikkei National Museum’s renovated space on July 20th (with free admission)!

What makes Nikkei Place is YOU

Since the founding of Nikkei Place, our community’s generosity has always been the backbone of Nikkei Place. Support from you and the rest of our community is what defines our past, our present, and our future. Giving to Nikkei Place Foundation means helping fund much-needed public programming, support and care for seniors, initiatives that inspire youth, and the extraordinary staff who make it all happen.

I invite you to stay tuned to our website for all the latest community updates. And if you haven't already received one in the mail, please check out our newest brochure to learn more about our core values, the many things that we are doing here at Nikkei Place, and what we aspire to do with the support of you and the community.

Please consider making a donation to the Nikkei Place Foundation today!

Warmly,

Naomi Kawamura
Executive Director, Nikkei Place Foundation

The Shin Asahi Japan Tour: Wylie's Story

Asahi Japan Tour 2019

Written by Wylie Waters

The 2019 trip to Japan was a special trip for me. I would like to thank my family for giving me the opportunity to go, as well as thank my coaches, friends and other player’s parents who helped make our trip possible.

Although I have ties to Japan through my Great Grandparents, this was my first trip to Japan. In fact, my Great Grandfather played a few games for the Vancouver Asahi Team in the early 1930’s and knowing my Great Grandfather had ties to Asahi made this trip extra special for myself and my family.

Our trip started on March 15 where we stayed in Yokohama.

JICA — where we stayed while in Yokohama

There we got the opportunity to practice with the senior players from Yokohama Minami Boys and Izumi Little Senior Club. The practice was very organized and fun, but was a workout that many of us had never experienced before. We then realized how hard the Japanese players practice. The respect the players have for the field, equipment and people is unbelievable and I would love to demonstrate this back home.

Tokyo was exciting to visit as we got to experience taking the train and subway system. We watched a game at the Tokyo Dome and saw the famous Ichiro Suzuki play in his home town after coming back from retirement. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric from the roaring crowd.

We also got to visit the Tokyo Giants practice facility and see a game with the Giants prospects playing an exhibition game against a Japanese college team. After the game we got to meet Scott Mathieson, this was special as he is from BC and a former MLB player that is now playing for the Tokyo Giants.

We then travelled to Hikone by bus and on the way, we were lucky to see Mount Fuji on a clear day.

When we arrived, we received a warm welcome from the people of Hikone.

The team went to Koshien Stadium to watch a senior high school game and that was quite an experience. Watching the large crowd of people and the teams cheering squads was something that you would not see at home. I enjoyed the exciting atmosphere of the stadium and the style of the baseball the teams were playing. The caliber of baseball was very high and competitive.

Another highlight for me was taking the Shinkansen to Hiroshima where I met some relatives, who showed us around the city. We were able to visit the Peace Memorial Park and Museum, looking at some serious history. We saw the Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium where the Carps play. One day I hope to return to Hiroshima to see more of the city and maybe see a Baseball game.

The overall trip to Japan was an excellent experience that helped show my family and my self a culture different to our own. Through the Shin Asahi Japan Tour, I got to experience a side of Japan involving Baseball that I never would have had otherwise. I learned that you should always respect the field, equipment and others around you while putting in full effort into everything you do.
