Thank you for Helps in Publishing Cultural News
Cultural News Editor Shige Higashi appeals donation for a $50,000 per year project to develop the contents and the web site of Cultural News to deliver Japanese culture information more efficiently to the larger public in Los Angeles and adjacent areas.
In October 2018, the non-profit Cultural News Association (CNA) was registered in the State of California and the non-profit 501(c) 3 eligibility was recognized by the IRS in February 2019.
The immediate impact of the IRS 501(c) 3 status is that donations become tax deductible for the donors. This new status is one of the reasons for this flyer requesting your commitment of a one-time donation to establish a sound financial basis for the Cultural News Association as it faces an expanded future.
Building a link of sharing the information of Japanese Art & Culture
The following is Higashi’s plan to build a news gathering system by using the “Wordpress” content management system for sharing the information of Japanese art and culture:
>>> CN contributors writing a news story directly to the CN website
>>> CN editors approving and posting this news at the CN website
>>> CN editors emailing the same news
>>> CN editors entering the news at the CN database
>>> CN editors selecting news from the CN database
>>> the monthly “Cultural News” being published
