United Way of Cowlitz & Wahkiakum Counties is accepting donations designated for the Nippon Fund and will forward those donations to support affected families.
Support Those Impacted by the Nippon Dynawave Tragedy
Our hearts are with the workers, families, and all those affected by the tragic events at Nippon Dynawave on May 26, 2026.
Need to donate to a 501c3
We have been contacted by several companies looking for ways to support those affected by the recent tragedy. In some cases, company giving programs require donations to be made to a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
To help facilitate these contributions, donations may be made to United Way of Cowlitz & Wahkiakum Counties and designated for the Nippon Fund. United Way will distribute these designated donations directly to the Lower Columbia Longshoreman's Credit Union where an account has been set up by the Cowlitz-Wahkiakum Central Labor Council to support those impacted. No administrative overhead will be taken by United Way.
