Support Our Mission
Your generous gifts enable us to equip citizens of the world with the tools they need to pursue purposeful lives seeking peace as a solution to all they encounter.
If it weren’t for Soka’s generous financial aid, I wouldn’t have been able to pursue a college education in the US, let alone one that equipped me with the necessary skills to navigate obstacles peacefully. Thanks to their support, I’ve been able to establish a successful company alongside my husband. Our company purchases goods from farmers, employing regenerative soil replenishment techniques, and pays them above fair market trade value. This approach not only benefits the farmers but also enhances every aspect of the consumer cycle.

Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
Popular tax-smart gifts
Many people are increasingly choosing to give non-cash assets, so they can have a bigger impact at less cost to them.
