About JAPAN-AMERICA SOCIETY OF DALLAS FORT WORTH

The Japan‑America Society of Dallas/Fort Worth (JASDFW) is a regional nonprofit that strengthens U.S.–Japan relations across North Texas through business networking, public affairs programming, language education, and cultural outreach. It serves as a convening organization for Japanese companies, civic leaders, educators, and community members in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

JASDFW operates signature programs that include the annual Sun & Star Legacy Awards Gala, the Japan Currents public affairs symposium (presented in partnership with SMU’s Tower Center), a Language Center, and the Japan‑in‑a‑Suitcase school outreach program. The Society is a member of the National Association of Japan‑America Societies and maintains an active calendar of in‑person and hybrid events.

The organization is active and donor‑facing: the provided EIN (75‑1616359) is confirmed as its IRS tax‑exempt identifier and JASDFW has run major public programs and fundraising events in 2024–2026 that demonstrate ongoing operations and community impact.

Notable achievements

Sun & Star Legacy Awards Gala (2026)

JASDFW produced its 28th annual Sun & Star Legacy Awards Gala (April 15, 2026) at the Irving Convention Center, honoring Governor Greg Abbott and drawing a broad cross‑section of business, civic, and cultural leaders and corporate sponsors. The gala served as a high‑visibility fundraising and partnership platform, featuring live and silent auctions and major corporate underwriting.

Japan Currents Symposium (2026)

JASDFW hosted Japan Currents 2026 at Southern Methodist University (February 2026), convening roughly 100 business leaders, policymakers, scholars, and community members for panels and keynote sessions on U.S.–Japan economic and policy issues; the program was also livestreamed to a national audience through the network of Japan‑America societies.

Digital & program expansion (2026)

In early 2026 JASDFW launched a new mobile‑friendly website and continued expansion of its Language Center and Japan‑in‑a‑Suitcase outreach, modernizing access to lesson materials and hybrid programming for K–12 schools, adult learners, and community partners across North Texas.
