Our Mission
Handmade For Japan’s mission is to raise funds through art-related events for the rebuilding of the Tohoku area of Japan effected by the March 11, 2011 earthquake. We began the day after the earthquake and tsunami by organizing an invitational online art auction on March 24-27, 2011 which made $75,757 through the efforts of 108 artists, galleries, and donors. We have continued to raise funds through monetary donations, mini-fundraisers and underwritten purchases on our Cafe Press store and are now close to $103,000. All proceeds will support GlobalGiving’s Earth and Tsunami Relief Fund.
